Abstract

  • 1.

    1. An electrode placement system is described which permits the recording of 12-lead electrocardiograms of excellent quality during exercise as well as at rest which closely resemble records derived from the standard peripheral position for limb lead electrodes. These records are essentially free of interference from muscle potential.

  • 2.

    2. A light-weight, disposable, inexpensive, stainless steel and plastic electrode has been developed which obviates virtually all sources of electrode interference, even during strenuous exercise.

  • 3.

    3. A means is described whereby stress as external work in graded increments may be administered. Thus, work can be adapted to the state of disease and physical fitness of the individual at any level.
