A member asked:
Is a portable 1 lead ecg accurate to diagnose arrhythmias? or do i need a 12 lead?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lead lead: If the printout or image of the recording in limb lead 1 is technically good without wandering baseline or other artefact and shows enough complexes(beats), it should be sufficient to diagnose many arrhythmias. Complex arrhythmias often are better identified when multiple leads are scrutinized, however.
