4
Q
Normal Q wave
A
less than 1mm and less the 1mm deep
5
Q
Lead axis
A
- hypothetical line joining the poles
- measures the difference in electrical potential between + and - electrodes
6
Q
Bipolar limb leads
A
- I, II, III
- frontal plane
- positive and negative electrodes
7
Q
Augmented Limb leads
A
- aVR, aVL, aVF
- frontal plane
- elimination of negative electrode (unipolar)
8
Q
Negative pole for augmented limb leads is called the…
A
Central terminal (CT)
9
Q
T/F: CT only exist when three limb electrodes are attached
A
TRUE
10
Q
Augmented Lead axis
A
measures difference in electrical potential between + limb electrode and - CT
11
