Resting and Stress ECG
Hardware, description of device for custo cardio 200
The patient should ideally be wearing running shoes or trainers.
The patient should not hold onto the handles of the treadmill during
the recording process. This will lead to muscle tension which will affect
the ECG signal.
Missing skin tension, in interaction with shoulder movement,
will increase artefacts in the ECG signal.
The extremity leads should if possible be applied on taut skin areas
in order to avoid excessive movement artefacts and therefore interference
in the other terminal lines.
During the ECG recording, the electrode leads must not come into contact
with the patient, the treadmill or other objects.
Normal electrode application
Artefact reduced electrode application
Artefact reduced electrode application results in
smaller amplitudes in the extremity leads.
