Researchers from University College London (UCL) have given the 12-lead ECG a long-overdue upgrade, developing an ECGI vest that is non-invasive, time-efficient, reusable, and provides high-resolution images of the heart\u2019s electrical activity. The researchers say their ECGI vest could be an effective screening method to identify the risk of future cardiac problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
