Patent ID: 8271071

Claim:
A method of remote sensing and processing of electrical cardiac signals of a human body by means of an apparatus for sensing and processing electrical cardiac signals, the apparatus comprising a plurality of electrical signal sensing electrodes associated with an electronic processing circuit, said method comprising the steps of: A) obtaining three classical leads DI, DII, and DIII and three augmented leads, aVF, aVR, and aVL with a single positioning of the apparatus associated with a body surface of a frontal portion of a subject's skin at a thoracic or abdominal region so that an electrode, arranged on a single housing of the apparatus is directed to a subject's left leg and, simultaneously, contacting a first finger of the subject's hand on another electrode and a second finger of the subject's hand on still another electrode, said first and second fingers originating from different hands of the same subject; B) positioning the apparatus' housing on three different standard body locations of the subject's thoracic region for precordial sensing; C) sensing electrical signals originating from the subject's heart for each of standard body locations of steps A and B and transmitting these signals to the electronic processing circuit; D) processing the electrical signals sensed by the electrical signal sensing electrodes by the electronic processing circuit and selectively transforming these electrical signals into ECG bipolar, unipolar, or unipolar precordial leads; and E) transmitting wirelessly twelve ECG bipolar, unipolar, or unipolar precordial leads to at least one processing unit, the processing unit transforming the leads into ECG graphs.
