Proper electrode placement for Holter monitoring is?

Answer 1

According to ACC guidelines:

2 channel monitor (5 lead wires)

White: 1st intercostal space, mid-clavicular on right

Black: 1st intercostal space, mid-clavicular on left

Green: Lower right at the last rib, just anterior of the mid-axilary line (ground lead)

Brown: 4th intercostal space, right sternal border

Red: Lower left at the last rib, just anterior of the mid-axilary line

I have never seen Holter leads placed as described below, but you should check with your Holter manufacturer guidelines.

**********************************************************

Green = left clavicle

Red = top of sternum

White = on the right side of the sternum, 4th intercostal space

Brown = middle of sternum

Black = left side of the sternum, 4th intercostal space

I think that's it at least.
