A system is shown which can acquire electrocardiographic information, convert it to 12-lead format, digitize it, transmit it over the air, receive it and reconstruct the 12 separate channels for presentation to a strip chart type recorder. In addition, mass storage of the received data is considered. The feature of the system is that it's frequency response is greater than 100hz in each channel and that the patient is disconnected from the recording devices which should serve to reduce lead induced artifacts and increase his freedom of movement.
