Graphical representation of Einthoven's triangle. Einthoven's triangle is an imaginary formation of three limb leads in a triangle used in the electrocardiography, formed by the two shoulders and the pubis. [1] The shape forms an inverted equilateral triangle with the heart at the center. It is named after Willem Einthoven, who theorized its ...
The term Einthoven's triangle is named after him. It refers to the imaginary inverted equilateral triangle centered on the chest and the points being the standard leads on the arms and leg. [8] After his development of the string galvanometer, Einthoven went on to describe the electrocardiographic features of a number of cardiovascular disorders.
I plan on going into detail on the basis of Einthoven's Triangle and why leads are placed where. I believe this information is lacking in the article's current form. I would also like to discuss what would happen if the leads were placed incorrectly. Here is a list of sources that I believe could be helpful in improving this article.
Einthoven’s triangle [ edit ] I think a new topic about Einthoven’s triangle should be started and not redirect to Willem Einthoven's topic —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.237.103.181 ( talk ) 08:00, 8 May 2009 (UTC) [ reply ]
Einthoven's triangle is an imaginary formation of three limb leads in a triangle used in electrocardiography, formed by the two shoulders and the pubis. [117] The shape forms an inverted equilateral triangle with the heart at the center that produces zero potential when the voltages are summed.
[4] Einthoven developed a sensitive form of string galvanomter that allowed photographic recording of the impulses associated with the heartbeat. He was a leader in applying the string galvanometer to physiology and medicine, leading to today's electrocardiography. [5] Einthoven was awarded the 1924 Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine for his ...
Some viruses such as polio or hepatitis C operate very close to the critical mutation rate (i.e. the largest q that L will allow). Drugs have been created to increase the mutation rate of the viruses in order to push them over the critical boundary so that they lose self-identity.
