5 Lead ECG

A 5-lead, 3-channel ECG is a specialised medical device used to measure and record the electrical activity of the heart.

It employs five electrodes (leads) and has three recording channels. The leads are placed on the chest and limbs to capture electrical signals from various perspectives.

Its primary function is to record and analyse the heart’s electrical activity, making it a crucial diagnostic tool for identifying arrhythmias, heart conditions, and other cardiac issues.
It can be used for both diagnostic purposes and continuous monitoring in clinical settings.

Electrodes are strategically placed on the body, including limbs (RA, LA, LL) and chest (V1, V2) to collect data from different lead configurations.
This device is widely used in healthcare facilities for cardiac assessments, preoperative evaluations, and monitoring patients with heart conditions.
Some models offer data storage, connectivity to electronic health records, and reporting features for comprehensive patient care.
