Abstract: A portable electrocardiograph includes an electrode unit brought into contact with a living body of a subject, a processing circuit measuring an electrical signal detected by the electrode unit with being in contact with the living body as an electrocardiographic waveform, and a display unit displaying a measurement result of the electrocardiographic waveform. In measurement, when a CPU of the processing circuit receives the electrical signal of the electrocardiographic waveform via the electrode unit, an amplifier circuit, a filter circuit, and an A/D converter, the CPU detects whether or not baseline fluctuation in the electrocardiographic waveform deviates from a predetermined range in which analysis of the waveform is acceptable, based on the received electrical signal. If the CPU detects deviation from the predetermined range, it displays such information on the display unit as a measurement result.
