A precordial strip assembly for use on a patient having skin, right and left arms and legs and a heart with a precordium lying thereover comprising an elongate strip having first and second surfaces. Six conductive contact elements identified as V1 through V6 are mounted in spaced apart positions along the length of the strip. In other embodiments, conductive contact elements identified as LA, LL and RA can be mounted on the strip. A reference contact element can be carried by the strip for serving as a common reference for each of the conductive contact elements. The contact elements are exposed on the first surface of the strip and are adapted to contact the patient\s skin for detecting heart signals from the patient when the precordial strip assembly is placed on the precordium of the patient. Junction means is carried in a single region by the strip and is electrically connected to the contact elements. One or more microchips can be connected to the contact elements for transmitting a radio frequency signal which carries the heart signals detected by the contact elements.
