Support us: Mastercard: 5106 2110 8086 3207 (ARMEN ASTVATSATRYAN) The standard electrocardiography (ECG) provides 12 different vector views of the heart’s electrical activity as reflected by electrical potential differences between positive and negative electrodes placed on the limbs and chest wall. Six of these views are vertical (using frontal leads I, II, and III and limb leads aVR, aVL, and aVF), and 6 are horizontal (using precordial leads V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6). The 12-lead ECG is crucial for establishing many cardiac diagnoses (see table Interpretation of Abnormal ECGs), including: Arrhythmias, Myocardial ischemia, Atrial enlargement, Ventricular hypertrophy and Conditions that predispose to syncope or sudden death (eg, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome).
