Are you talking about atmospheric electricity here? That wouldn't
apply indoors and it would be greatly affected by the body's
conductivity anyway.

I personally have had an EKG while standing so I know that it is not a
problem, per se. I think it is usually done lying down for comfort, to
minimize movement, and because a full EKG requires, I think, 10 leads
(to map out which region of the heart each particular pulse is coming
from).
