Abstract:
1. A method of synthesizing electrocardiographic (ECG) signals comprising receiving signals from a first group of electrodes concurrently connected to predetermined locations on a human body to acquire a first set of ECG signals and deriving at least one further ECG signal by applying transformation(s) on said first set of ECG signals, or a subset thereof, to form a desired set of signals, wherein the first group of electrodes comprises a V 5 12 lead electrode site, a V 2 12 lead electrode site, at least one electrode positioned substantially level with V 5 on the right anterior axillary line, at least one electrode positioned on a right hand side of the body and at least one electrode positioned on a left hand side of the body, wherein said ECG signals are synthesized from data obtained from less than ten electrode sites.
