NCIt definition : An electrocardiogram (ECG) lead placement whereby 12 leadpoints are recorded but the
standard lead positions have been modified for ECG recording during exercise. Exercise
stress testing requires moving the limb electrodes to more central positions on the
thorax. The electrodes are placed in bony prominences close to the bases of the respective
limbs in order to avoid skeletal muscle artifact, provide stability for recording
electrodes and to record waveforms similar to the standard limb sites.;
