Brief summary
To compare the accuracy of novel smartphone or wearable ECG devices to a gold standard ECG in patients with normal and abnormal ECGs.
Detailed description
Assess the effect of the following on the accuracy of the recorded ECG compared to a gold standard ECG: * Posture or position of the patient * Movement * Amount of hair on the ECG site * Skin condition (tone/dryness) Ability to detect a paced rhythm accurately A qualitative assessment of ECG devices, including the amount of artefact in the signal and ease of use of the device
