Did you know that the design of an ecg electrode affects the signal quality on an ecg trace?
A new comparison show different ecg connector designs (offset fitting or center fitting connectors) affect the signal quality on an ecg trace when these are mechanically manipulated. The comparison demonstrates that the offset connector design to a larger extend mitigates the impact on signal quality from pulling of lead wires or pushing on sensors during wear.

Read the summary or the full study below to see how the comparison was carried out and see the ECG signals for each test. You can also hear the authors, Marie Riis Dammeyer and Daniel Hansen introduce the study in the video below.
