Monitoring of electrocardiograms in bed without utilizing body surface electrodes

A system by which an electrocardiogram can be obtained without the individual's awareness was investigation. It involves placing the electrodes in a bed set composed of electrically conductive textiles. Electrocardiograms were successfully obtained during sleep. However, during the periods of the subject's movement in bed, the waveform became unrecognizable.<<ETX>>
