12 Lead ECG placement.....just wondering

I had an interesting conversation with a friend that works for an MD. She did

a 12 lead ECG like most of us probably would have going under the breast to

place the leads and just undoing the bra not removing it as the " girls " would

have been unleashed with the removal. Her Doc insisted that she totally remove

the bra and that she place the leads ON the breast rather than UNDER it. His

rational is that the breast tissue would not affect the outcome of the ECG and

the placement would be more precise. This is the first I've heard of placing

them on the breast...I've always heard (and done) under the breast tissue. Same

basic principle for obese folks. Anyone else heard of placing them on the

breast?? Maybe I've become old and need to go take a Cardiology refresher.....
