Key result
A spandex tank top with 40 mm dry electrodes placed on convex chest areas yielded high signal to artifact ratios during daily life movements.
Why the study?
Do dry electrodes in a spandex tank top provide comparable signal to artifact ratio and reliability to Ag/AgCl gel electrodes for continuous ECG recording?
Population
24 subjects (12 men and 12 women)
Comparison

May support comfortable ambulatory ECG monitoring; leaves open validation versus gel electrodes in larger trials.
Do dry electrodes in a spandex tank top provide comparable signal to artifact ratio and reliability to Ag/AgCl gel electrodes for continuous ECG recording?
Dry electrodes with larger surface areas placed over convex chest muscles in a spandex tank top can provide optimal signal-to-artifact ratios for continuous ECG monitoring.
Meziane et al. (2015) studied this question. Dry electrodes in a spandex tank top vs. Ag/AgCl gel electrodes was evaluated on Signal to artifact ratio (SAR) and reliability. A spandex tank top with 40 mm dry electrodes placed on convex chest areas yielded high signal to artifact ratios during daily life movements.
