This directionless “zero lead” lead is calculated as the average input from the three limb leads: WCT = 1/3 (RA + LA + LL). An understanding of Einthoven’s triangle and the mathematical derivations of each lead will help us in understanding the ECG patterns produced by each type of l...
V9 – Left paraspinal region, in the same horizontal plane as V6 Posterior lead placement V7, V8, V9 The degree of ST elevation seen in V7-9 is typically modest – note that only 0.5 mm of ST elevation is required to make the diagnosis of posterior MI! Example ECG Example 1a Inferolat...
