1,2,3,4 -- Factors that can negatively impact the quality of an ECG tracing include motion artifact, which occurs when a patient moves during the recording; a history of COPD; incorrect positioning of leads; and morbid obesity. Leads that are properly positioned and in firm contact with the skin ensure accuracy of the test.
