A patient-worn arrhythmia monitoring and treatment device includes at least two pads configured to affix to skin on a torso of a patient. At least one of a pair of sensing electrodes is disposed on each one of the pads and configured to sense surface ECG activity of the patient. At least one of a pair of therapy electrodes is disposed on each one of the pads and configured to deliver one or more therapeutic pulses to the patient. A controller is in communication with the pairs of sensing and therapy electrodes and is configured to monitor for cardiac arrhythmias based on the sensed surface ECG activity and cause the delivery of the one or more therapeutic pulses. The device includes a removable garment to be worn about the torso to immobilize on the torso the one of the at least two pads to which the controller is coupled.

Disclosed is a system (100) and method (200) for 12-lead ECG recording and wireless remote monitoring. The system (100) provides a wearable ECG acquisition unit (40) recording 12-lead ECG from torso positions of electrode sensors on user's body thereby permitting unrestrained free movement during recording without compromising on accuracy achieved by conventional 12-lead ECG system. Thus, the system (100) and method (200) provides a reliable, quick to deploy, cost effective and portable alternative to bulky conventional 12-lead ECG systems and eliminates need for resorting to skilled physician every time the 12-lead ECG is to be recorded. The system (100) and method (200) is universal in use and torso placement positions, facilitating uniform acquisition of the 12-lead ECG without altering the placement positions of the electrode sensors irrespective of ECG modalities, thereby serving as a standard format for ECG recording and long term ECG monitoring.
