The precordial leads lie in the transverse (horizontal) plane, perpendicular to the other six leads. The six precordial electrodes act as the positive poles for the six corresponding precordial leads: (V 1, V 2, V 3, V 4, V 5, and V 6). Wilson's central terminal is used as the negative pole. Recently, unipolar precordial leads have been used to ...
Precordial concordance, also known as QRS concordance is when all precordial leads on an electrocardiogram are either positive (positive concordance) or negative (negative concordance). [1]
Inverted T wave is considered abnormal if inversion is deeper than 1.0 mm. Inverted T waves found in leads other than the V1 to V4 leads is associated with increased cardiac deaths. Inverted T waves associated with cardiac signs and symptoms ( chest pain and cardiac murmur ) are highly suggestive of myocardial ischaemia . [ 4 ]
12-lead electrocardiogram showing ST-segment elevation (orange) in I, aVL and V1–V5 with reciprocal changes (blue) in the inferior leads, indicative of an anterior wall myocardial infarction. When there is a blockage of the coronary artery , there will be lack of oxygen supply to all three layers of cardiac muscle (transmural ischemia).
Looking at the precordial leads, the R wave usually progresses from showing an rS-type complex in V 1 with an increasing R and a decreasing S wave when moving toward the left side. There is usually a qR-type of complex in V 5 and V 6, with the R-wave amplitude usually taller in V 5 than in V 6 .
Lead II — This axis goes from the right arm to the left leg, with the negative electrode on the shoulder and the positive one on the leg. This results in a +60 degree angle of orientation. [4] = Lead III — This axis goes from the left shoulder (negative electrode) to the right or left leg (positive electrode). This results in a +120 degree ...
