An electrocardiograph of this type is characterized by having 12 channels and recording each of the 12 leads in a period of 2.5 seconds; they allow the visualization of the analysis in real time before printing the records, providing efficiency and improving the accuracy of the patient's diagnosis; this way avoids having to repeat the procedure, an electrocardiograph of 12 leads have advantages over other types, such as the possibility to send data to the ECG administration system without the need to perform the printing.
This 12-lead apparatus helps to diagnose whether there are abnormalities in the cardiac electrical conduction, through electrodes that transfer the impulses to an ECG monitor, the 12 leads instantly provide waves from 12 different angles or views of the heart, one electrode is placed in each of the four limbs and another six at specific locations in the chest, making a total of 10 electrodes in the patient's skin.
