Guest guest Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 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.....
