Lead systems are the clinical tool for acquiring electrocardiograms (ECG) from the human
body surface. The widely preferred lead system is the standard 12 leads in surface ECG; …

The standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) remains one of the most important and most
frequently used tools for diagnosing cardiac diseases, although several different …

For over a century, electrocardiology has been observing human cardiac activity through
recordings of electrocardiograms (ECG). The potential differences derived from the nine …

ECG monitoring is common place in the hospital and even pre-hospital setting. The need for
different types of lead systems in different settings has been emphasised. Simple three …

A perennial electrocardiogram (ECG) question is how many leads in what locations are
needed for optimal electrocardiographic assessment or monitoring of patients with known or …

In clinical practice it has become customary to record 12 ECG leads from each patient. This
practice developed more by tradition than by biophysical reasoning. The number of ECG …

This issue of the Journal is devoted to the important topic of electrocardiographic (ECG)
leads and comprises a compendium of articles assembled from presentations given at …

The electrocardiogram is acquired by ten electrodes attached to the patient's body and
transformed into 12 leads, recorded in 12 channels. This transformation requires the use of …

Since Einthoven'introduced the string galvanometer in 1902, electrocardiography has
evolved as one of the most widely used tests in the practice of medicine. The routine l2-lead …

Various electrocardiographic lead systems are widely used for exercise testing and no
