The hexaxial reference system is a diagram that is used to determine the heart's electrical axis in the frontal plane. The hexaxial reference system, better known as the Cabrera system, is a convention to present the extremity leads of the 12 lead electrocardiogram, [1] that provides an illustrative logical sequence that helps interpretation of the ECG, especially to determine the heart's ...
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 ...
R+S in a precordial lead < 4.5 mV [4] R in V5 or V6 < 2.6 mV; Increased amplitude indicates cardiac hypertrophy: Ventricular activation time (VAT) < 50 ms in V5 or V6 [4] < 30 ms in V1 [4] Measured in increased QRS amplitude [4] Q wave: Duration up to 40 ms in leads other than III and aVR [6] Amplitude less than 1/3 QRS amplitude [6] (R+S)
The hexaxial reference system is a diagram that is used to determine the heart's electrical axis in the frontal plane.. In electrocardiography, left axis deviation (LAD) is a condition wherein the mean electrical axis of ventricular contraction of the heart lies in a frontal plane direction between −30° and −90°.

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).
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]
