title: Some practical aspects of ECG monitoring.
abstract: The application and theoretical derivation of the chest monitor (Cm) ECG lead are described, and suggestions are made on how artefacts are to be avoided when monitoring arrhythmias in patients with artificial pacemakers. The problems associated with ECG monitoring by computerized interpretation systems are also discussed.
