ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A novel and improved method and apparatus for rapidly applying electrocardiograph electrodes to a patient's body in clinically acceptable anatomic regions despite a wide range of chest sizes and configurations. The invention is directed to a chest piece for automatically locating the position of electrocardiograph electrodes on the chest of a patient comprising: a strip of stretchable, non-conductive material adapted for positioning on the chest of a patient undergoing electrocardiographic monitoring with the ends thereof in predetermined location relative to the chest of the patient; a plurality of electrodes carried by the strip in predetermined locations thereon, each of the electrodes being positioned for contacting a precordial anatomic position of the patient for electrocardiographic monitoring when positioned in a substantially unstretched condition on the chest of a first patient having a chest of relatively small size; and retaining means adapted for connection to the strip at opposite ends thereof for stretching the strip to locate the ends thereof in the predetermined positions relative to the chest of the patient to thereby increase the spacing between each of the electrodes to position them in the correct precordial anatomic positions for electrocardiographic moni- toring on a chest larger in size than the chest of the first patient.
