Key result
Direct hook-up monitoring was found to be as satisfactory as radiotelemetry for recording the electrocardiogram during the Master two-step test, making radiotelemetry unnecessary.

Simplifies ECG monitoring for exercise testing; leaves open validation versus telemetry in modern protocols.
Does direct hook-up monitoring provide satisfactory ECG tracings compared to radiotelemetry during the Master two-step test?
For monitoring the Master two-step test, direct hook-up ECG recording is sufficient and potentially preferable to radiotelemetry.
Rosenfeld et al. (1964) studied this question. Radiotelemetry vs. Direct hook-up technic was evaluated on Satisfactory tracings. Direct hook-up monitoring was found to be as satisfactory as radiotelemetry for recording the electrocardiogram during the Master two-step test, making radiotelemetry unnecessary.
