ECG Flashcards
3 Limb leads
I, II and III
3 augmented voltage leads
aVR, (right), aVL (left), aVF (foot)
6 chest leads
V1-V6
depolarisation moving toward the (+ve) recording electrode creates
an upward deflection on ECG
depolarisation moving away from the (+ve) recording electrode creates
a downward deflection on ECG
