Image 13: Standard Electrocardiogram Waveform Diagram ECG Standard Leads Let us get this clear and out of the way. The industry standard in healthcare is the 12-lead ECG. That is not what is used for monitoring a client. For ongoing client care, including pre-admission work by emergency res...

The 12-lead ECG misleadingly only has 10 electrodes (sometimes also called leads but to avoid confusion we will refer to them as electrodes). The leads can be thought of as taking a picture of the heart’s electrical activity from 12 different positions using information picked up by the ...
An old audio lead is used for the connections. Only two of the leads are actually used - the white lead was intended to be an 'earth' connection on a wrist or leg, but it never seemed to function, so it is not used. Lead positioning The diagram shows the positioning of the leads. ...

In addition to the interactive quizzes, you can browse over 75 strips which come with a brief discussion pointing out the key characteristics and possible causes. Along with the measurement guide diagram and 12 lead placement diagram, you just may learn something new (or remember something old)...
Then the volume of intracardiac blood may also affect the R wave amplitude, i.e., increased/decreased volume leads to an increase/decrease in the R wave amplitude. Thus, variations in ventricular end diastolic volume can affect variations in the R wave amplitude, which is generated at the ...
Subsequent chapters will clarify why multiple leads are required to diagnose many morphological changes. The ECG paper The electrocardiograph presents one diagram for each lead. Voltage is presented on the vertical (Y) axis and time on the horizontal (X) axis of the diagram. The ECG paper has ...
