MODIFIED METHOD FOR POINT SELECTION FOR CHEST LEADS RECORDING Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC A61B5/402 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: ECG electrodes are placed on the skin of a patient's left pectoral region in the following points: point 1 - an electrode which is normally attached to a right hand, is placed in the 2nd intercostal space along a left parasternal line; point 2 - an electrode which is normally attached to a left hand, is placed in the middle of a left deltopectoral groove. Point 3 is localised by means of a formula taking into account the patient's anatomy. An electrode which is normally attached to a left leg, is placed into point 3. And 6 approximated leads are recorded: I_a is a bipolar recording from point 1 to point 2; II_a is a bipolar recording from point 2 to point 3; III_a is a bipolar recording from point 3 to point 1; aVR_a is a unipolar enhanced recording from point 1; aVL_a is a unipolar enhanced recording from point 2; aVF_a is a unipolar enhanced recording from point 3.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to provide higher information value and quality of ECG recording, diagnose arrhythmias, and monitor ischemic changes in different myocardial segments.
