The electrode structure (100) comprises a band-like component (101) that is fitted against the skin (102) of the person's chest and that is made of soft and flexible material that follows the skin closely. At the ends of the electrode structure (100) there are electrodes (118, 122). The inner surface (116) of the electrode structure is an adhesive surface for attaching the electrode structure (100) on the skin (102) of the person's chest.
