EEG of the brain, &electrical activity of the muscles), but the heart is the greatest electrical activity,
Einthoven’s method
3 Lead
2 arm
1 left leg
lead 1
Connecting the right arm with the left arm
lead 2
Connecting the right arm with the left leg
lead 3
Connecting the left arm with the left leg
first 3 leads are
bipolar leads
bipolar leads records
difference between these two points
unipolar leads measure
the potential of only one point
The maximum voltage must be within
lead 2, because it is parallel to the direction of the current (base to apex).
The bipolar leads can be used to diagnose
different cardiac arrhythmias abnormalities in the period of times between different waves of the cycle.
(if it’s prolonged or shortened).
Chest leads are used in diagnose
abnormalities in the waves themselves e.g. QRS
V1 Place
fourth intercostal space to the right of the sternum
V2 Place
fourth intercostal space to the left of the sternum.
V4 Place
fifth intercostal space in the left midclavicular line.
just beneath the nipple.
V3 Place
in between V2 and V4
V5 Place
anterior axillary line within fifth intercostal space.
V6 Place
middle axillary line within fifth intercostal space.
V1 Related part in heart
Right ventricle
V2 Related part in heart
The sputum between the ventricles.
V3 Related part in heart
Anterior of the left ventricle
V4 Related part in heart
Anteroseptal aspect of the left ventricle.
V5 Related part in heart
Anterolateral aspect of the left ventricle
V6 Related part in heart
Lateral aspect of the left ventricle
IN chest leads The sign of current depends on
where we put the electrodes and the direction of the current.
