Key result
The EASI lead system was less susceptible to myoelectric noise than the Mason-Likar system during physical activities, but both systems had similar susceptibilities to baseline wander.
Why the study?
Does the EASI lead system reduce baseline wander and myoelectric noise compared to the Mason-Likar 12-lead ECG during physical activity in healthy volunteers?
Cross-Sectional (n=20)

The EASI lead system is less susceptible to myoelectric noise than the Mason-Likar system during physical activity, though it performs worse during right-sided turning.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May favor EASI for lower myoelectric noise in active patients; leaves open clinical utility and needs validation in monitored populations.
Welinder et al. (2004) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy (n=20). EASI lead system vs. Mason-Likar 12-lead electrocardiogram was evaluated on Baseline wander and myoelectric noise amplitudes. The EASI lead system was less susceptible to myoelectric noise than the Mason-Likar system during physical activities, but both systems had similar susceptibilities to baseline wander.
