12 Leads ECG and Interpretation

                                               THE 12 LEADS ECG

       The most commonly used clinical ECG system is the 12-leads ECG.It consist of the following leads:
I  ,  II  ,  III ,aVR , aVL ,aVF ,V 1, V 2, V 3 , V4 , V5 , V6...Both limb and chest electrodes are used
to record 12-lead ECGs.

                                    Standart Limb Lead Electrode Placement

 Lead                         Positive Electrode                 Negative Electrode                     View of the Heart

   I                                    LA                                       RA                                       Lateral
  II                                    LL                                       RA                                       Inferior
  III                                   LL                                       LA                                       Inferior
  aVR                               RA                                      -                                            None
  aVL                               LA                                      -                                            Lateral
  aVF                               LL                                       -                                           Inferior

  V1 =               Right sternal border-4th ICS              -                                              Septum                                
  V2 =               Left sternal border  -4th ICS              -                                             Septum
                       
  V3 =               Midway between  V2 and V4            -                                             Anterior                                                     
  V4 =              Midclavicular line   -5th ICS               -                                              Anterior

  V5 =              Anterior axillary line -5th ICS             -                                              Lateral

  V6 =              Mid axillary line -5th ICS                   -                                              Lateral
