Zusammenfassung:An ergonomic and unobtrusive cardiac monitoring and treatment device for continuous wear includes a band, ECG sensing electrodes and treatment electrodes configured to deliver an electrotherapy, one or more sensor ports for receiving one or more physiological sensors, and a controller for analyzing an ECG signal of a patient and causing a delivery of electro therapy. The band is configured to be worn about a thoracic region and has a vertical span of between about 1 to about 15 centimeters. The band is configured to be immobilized relative to a skin surface of the thoracic region of the patient by exerting one or more compression forces against the thoracic region. The device can include at least two separate wearable portions comprising a band portion including ECG sensing electrodes and/or other physiological sensors, and a second wearable portion optionally separable from the band portion, the second wearable portion including treatment electrodes.
