Evaluation of a textile-based wearable system for the electrocardiogram monitoring in cardiac patients Abstract AIMS: We developed a textile-based wearable system, named MagIC, for the unobtrusive monitoring of one electrocardiogram (ECG) lead, respiratory frequency and motion. In the present study, we investigated the ability of this system to monitor cardiac rhythm and arrhythmic events in cardiac patients. METHODS AND RESULTS: The study was carried out by comparing ECG tracings simultaneously recorded by MagIC and
