    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Cardiovascular Technology

    Background:

    • Conventional electrocardiogram (ECG) recording requires skin preparation and conductive electrode paste.
    • Dry electrodes offer potential for improved patient comfort and reduced setup time but often face signal quality challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of active cables for recording electrocardiograms (ECGs) using dry electrodes.
    • To compare the signal quality of ECGs recorded with dry electrodes and active cables against conventional methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and utilization of novel active cables designed for dry electrode integration.
    • Simultaneous recording of ECG data using both the novel dry electrode system and a standard wet electrode setup with electrode paste.
    • Comparative analysis of electrocardiographic waveforms obtained from both recording methods.

    • No discernible difference was observed in the electrocardiographic waveforms between recordings made with dry electrodes and conventional electrodes.
    • The active cables effectively transmitted the ECG signal without significant degradation.

    Conclusions:

    • Active cables facilitate high-quality electrocardiogram (ECG) recording with dry electrodes.
    • This approach offers a viable alternative to traditional ECG methods, potentially enhancing user experience and accessibility.
    • The findings support the clinical applicability of dry electrode technology for routine ECG monitoring.
