Abstract [en]
Currently we are witnessing fast development of patch ECG devices, some of which have already been extensively evaluated and shown to be useful for detecting arrhythmias. The research about using the patch ECG devices for purposes other than arrhythmia detection has been scarce. The efficiency of patch electrocardiography for a specific purpose can depend on the devices location on the body surface. It is still an open question where to position the ECG patch devices, and should the position depend on the specific purpose and perhaps even be personalized. We present the lead theory of differential leads (ECG leads obtained by patch ECG devices) and discuss its implications on the patch ECG devices positioning on the body surface.
