Abstract
A portable apparatus having electronic circuitry for selectively monitoring and recording a user's electrocardiographic (ECG) data signals, wherein a first conductive electrode is disposed on a first surface of the apparatus casing for contact with an ECG lead position on the user's body and second and third paste-on electrodes are attached on the user's chest in positions which form the second and third electrodes in the standard Eindhoven triangle formation. A wristband is provided for securing the apparatus to the user's wrist and a microprocessor controls the electronic circuitry such that the user's ECG signal is monitored/recorded from six standard input channels. A modem device is attachable to the apparatus for effecting burst mode transmission of data to an external receiver.
