Name Time Method Change in p-wave amplitude as assessed by ECG with different electrode vector spacing . [This is a single point data collection study with no intervention and follow-up requirement. All measurements will be pooled at completion of recruitment for analysis.]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in p-wave amplitude as assessed by ECG with different angle of electrode vector.[This is a single point data collection study with no intervention and follow-up requirement. All measurements will be pooled at completion of recruitment for analysis.];Change in p-wave amplitude for different physical body composition, assessed by BMI and body fat percentage calculated by Omron Fat Loss Monitor (HBF-306)[This is a single point data collection study with no intervention and follow-up requirement. All measurements will be pooled at completion of recruitment for analysis.]
