Spread of electrical activity
• Myocardium depolarizes from endocardium to epicardium,
but repolarises in the opposite direction (from epicardium to
endocardium)
• SA node -> atrial muscle -> AV node -> bundle of His -> Left
and Right Bundle Branches -> Purkinje fibres -> Ventricular

12 lead ECG
ECG leads
• Conventionally use 12 leads
• It is actually 12 electrical views of the heart
6 Limb leads 6 chest leads

Lead V6
Einthoven Triangle
• A triangle with the heart at its
center (Einthoven’s triangle) can
be approximated by placing
electrodes on both arms and on
the left leg
• These are the three standard limb
leads used in electrocardiography
• Lead I, Lead II and Lead III
• Ground electrode (earth
electrode) is connected to the
right leg
1. Upward deflection – if the wave of depolarization is travelling towards the positive pole of
that lead
2. Downward deflection – if the wave of depolarization is travelling towards the negative pole
of that lead
3. Biphasic deflection – if the path of the depolarization wave is perpendicular to that lead. A
small biphasic wave results
Augmented Limb Leads
• These record the potential
difference between an
exploring electrode and an
indifferent electrode
• Augmented limb leads,
designated by the letter a (aVR,
aVL, aVF), are generally used
• They are recordings between
the one, augmented limb and
the other two limbs which
increases the size of the
potentials by 50%
Unipolar limb leads
Augmented limb leads
aVR “looks at” the cavities of the
ventricles
– Atrial depolarization, ventricular
depolarization, and ventricular
repolarization move away from the
exploring electrode, and the P wave,
QRS complex, and T wave are
therefore all negative (downward)
deflections
aVL and aVF look at the
ventricles, and the deflections
are therefore predominantly
positive or biphasic
Chest leads
• Precordial leads records the potential on a point in
the chest against a zero
• Views the heart in the horizontal plane
V1 V2
V3
V4
V5
V6
anterior
• V1: 4th
intercostal space,
right sternal edge
• V2: 4th
intercostal space,
left sternal edge
• V3: Midway between V2
and V4
• V4: 5th
intercostal space
midaxillary line
• V5: same horizontal plane,
anterior axillary line
• V6: same horizontal plane,
mid axillary line
Chest leads
• There is no Q wave in V1 and V2, and
the initial portion of the QRS complex is
a small upward deflection because
ventricular depolarization first moves
across the midportion of the septum
from left to right toward the exploring
electrode
• The wave of excitation then moves
down the septum and into the left
ventricle away from the electrode,
producing a large S wave. Finally, it
moves back along the ventricular wall
toward the electrode, producing the
return to the isoelectric line
• Conversely, in the left ventricular leads
(V4 – V6) there may be an initial small Q
wave (left to right septal
depolarization), and there is a large R
wave (septal and left ventricular
depolarization) followed in V4 and V5 by
a moderate S wave (late depolarization
of the ventricular walls moving back
toward the AV junction)
Electrical axis of the Heart
• Is the mean direction of the action potentials
travelling through the ventricles during
ventricular depolarization
• Important to determine in case of diseases
• It is the mean direction of the QRS axis that is
usually determined
Electrical axis
• Normal axis is between
-30o
& +90o
• Determined by the QRS
axis
• It is the general direction
in the frontal plane
towards which the QRS is
predominantly pointing
I

IIaVF
aVR
aVL-30o
0o
+60o
+90o
+120o
-150o
Left axis
deviation
Right axis
deviation
• Important to remember in QRS axis calculation
1. The mean QRS axis points midway between
any two leads that shows tall R waves of equal
height
2. The mean QRS is oriented at right angles to
any lead showing a biphasic complex and towards
the lead which has a tall R wave
Generally use Lead I and aVF

  • 25. ECG leads • Conventionally use 12 leads • It is actually 12 electrical views of the heart 6 Limb leads 6 chest leads Bipolar Unipolar (Augmented) Lead I Lead II Lead III Lead aVL Lead aVR Lead aVF Lead V1 Lead V2 Lead V3 Lead V4 Lead V5 Lead V6
  • 26. Einthoven Triangle • A triangle with the heart at its center (Einthoven’s triangle) can be approximated by placing electrodes on both arms and on the left leg • These are the three standard limb leads used in electrocardiography • Lead I, Lead II and Lead III • Ground electrode (earth electrode) is connected to the right leg
  • 27. 1. Upward deflection – if the wave of depolarization is travelling towards the positive pole of that lead 2. Downward deflection – if the wave of depolarization is travelling towards the negative pole of that lead 3. Biphasic deflection – if the path of the depolarization wave is perpendicular to that lead. A small biphasic wave results
  • 28. Augmented Limb Leads • These record the potential difference between an exploring electrode and an indifferent electrode • Augmented limb leads, designated by the letter a (aVR, aVL, aVF), are generally used • They are recordings between the one, augmented limb and the other two limbs which increases the size of the potentials by 50%
  • 30. Augmented limb leads aVR “looks at” the cavities of the ventricles – Atrial depolarization, ventricular depolarization, and ventricular repolarization move away from the exploring electrode, and the P wave, QRS complex, and T wave are therefore all negative (downward) deflections aVL and aVF look at the ventricles, and the deflections are therefore predominantly positive or biphasic
  • 31. Chest leads • Precordial leads records the potential on a point in the chest against a zero • Views the heart in the horizontal plane V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V6 anterior
  • 32. • V1: 4th intercostal space, right sternal edge • V2: 4th intercostal space, left sternal edge • V3: Midway between V2 and V4 • V4: 5th intercostal space midaxillary line • V5: same horizontal plane, anterior axillary line • V6: same horizontal plane, mid axillary line
  • 34. • There is no Q wave in V1 and V2, and the initial portion of the QRS complex is a small upward deflection because ventricular depolarization first moves across the midportion of the septum from left to right toward the exploring electrode • The wave of excitation then moves down the septum and into the left ventricle away from the electrode, producing a large S wave. Finally, it moves back along the ventricular wall toward the electrode, producing the return to the isoelectric line • Conversely, in the left ventricular leads (V4 – V6) there may be an initial small Q wave (left to right septal depolarization), and there is a large R wave (septal and left ventricular depolarization) followed in V4 and V5 by a moderate S wave (late depolarization of the ventricular walls moving back toward the AV junction)
  • 35. Electrical axis of the Heart • Is the mean direction of the action potentials travelling through the ventricles during ventricular depolarization • Important to determine in case of diseases • It is the mean direction of the QRS axis that is usually determined
  • 36. Electrical axis • Normal axis is between -30o & +90o • Determined by the QRS axis • It is the general direction in the frontal plane towards which the QRS is predominantly pointing I III IIaVF aVR aVL-30o 0o +60o +90o +120o -150o Left axis deviation Right axis deviation
  • 37. • Important to remember in QRS axis calculation 1. The mean QRS axis points midway between any two leads that shows tall R waves of equal height 2. The mean QRS is oriented at right angles to any lead showing a biphasic complex and towards the lead which has a tall R wave Generally use Lead I and aVF Electrical axis
