A simple adaptation of a handheld ECG recorder to obtain chest lead equivalents.

Hand held ECG recorders are transforming the way we detect and diagnose heart rhythm disorders. The Kardia 6 L was launched in 2019 to detect and diagnose heart rhythm disorders recording a six lead (limb lead) ECG. Recording and analysis of precordial leads are currently not supported by the Kardia 6 L. In this study we aim to assess if reliable chest lead data can be obtained using a simple modification to the recording system.
