An ECG/EKG patient telemetry monitoring system is disclosed, the system configured for monitoring the cardiac activity of a patient. The wireless ECG patient telemetry monitoring system includes a plurality of self-contained wireless electrodes adapted to adhesively secure to the skin of the torso of the patient and to measure electric potential on the skin as related to electrical activity of the heart. ECG signals from the electrodes are wirelessly communicated to a central monitor, which provides graphical ECG voltage potential versus time plots for a technician, nurse, or physician.
