Abstract

A garment for use in current registration of electrocardiographic measurements or similar measurements on a person wearing the garment by a portable monitoring unit, with wires and cables connected to electrodes adapted to be secured in contact with the skin of the wearer, the garment comprising a jacket containing at least one pocket placed under one armhole, in which pocket the monitoring unit is placed, the jacket comprising two front portions which can be mutually connected with a closure. In order to make the garment more comfortable to wear and to make it possible to mount cables and registration equipment before the wearer puts on the garment, at least one front portion includes a number of fixation devices placed approximately in line and mutually spaced, as well as a corresponding number of slits placed approximately in a line close to the closure.
