Abstract: A portable lead alignment device is provided for aligning, organizing and storing in a pre-assembled fashion the leads extending from an EKG apparatus. The device includes an elongate flexible support with at least one linear array of chest lead alignment tunnels disposed thereon. Each tunnel snugly accommodates a chest lead so that the lead can be slid longitudinally relative to the support. However, the tunnels prevent the leads from being separated from the device. The lead alignment device may further include a plurality of ground lead organizers for releasably retaining the ground leads in a neat looped arrangement on the support.
