are all ecg 12 lead?

The standard ECG has 12 leads. Six of the leads are considered “limb leads” because they are placed on the arms and/or legs of the individual. The other six leads are considered “precordial leads” because they are placed on the torso (precordium). The six limb leads are called lead I, II, III, aVL, aVR and aVF.

Each electrode consists of an electrically conductive electrolyte gel and a silver/silver chloride conductor. The gel typically contains potassium chloride – sometimes silver chloride as well – to permit electron conduction from the skin to the wire and to the electrocardiogram.

Electroencephalograms (EEGs) and electrocardiograms (ECGs) are both tests that measure electrical impulses in the body. However, an EEG measures impulses in the brain, while an ECG, which may also have the abbreviation EKG, measures impulses in the heart.

An ECG can help your doctor detect problems in your heartbeat and heart structure that could cause palpitations. The test will be done either while you rest or during exercise (stress electrocardiogram).

All ECG paper is set up using the same type of grid. The grid lines are typically in red or green for easy reading, with a black tracer ink used.

Sinus tach and most SVTs have only one P wave for each QRS complex. They may or may not be buried in the preceding T waves. But there are other supra-ventricular tachycardias that have more than one P wave for each QRS or no P waves. Atrial fibrillation has no P waves.

The 12-lead ECG displays, as the name implies, 12 leads which are derived by means of 10 electrodes. Three of these leads are easy to understand, since they are simply the result of comparing electrical potentials recorded by two electrodes; one electrode is exploring, while the other is a reference electrode.

A simple way to diagnose a left bundle branch in an ECG with a widened QRS complex (> 120 ms) would be to look at lead V1. If the QRS complex is widened and downwardly deflected in lead V1, a left bundle branch block is present.

The QT interval should be measured manually, preferably by using one of the limb leads that best shows the end of the T wave on a 12-lead ECG. The QT interval should be measured from the beginning of the QRS complex to the end of the T wave and averaged over 3 to 5 beats.

The lead (or leads) is an insulated wire that is connected to the pulse generator on one end, with the other end placed inside one of the heart's chambers. The lead is almost always placed so that it runs through a large vein in the chest leading directly to the heart.

Unipolar leads (augmented leads and chest leads) have a single positive recording electrode and utilize a combination of the other electrodes to serve as a composite negative electrode. Normally, when an ECG is recorded, all leads are recorded simultaneously, giving rise to what is called a 12-lead ECG.

Is it LBBB or RBBB? Once you have identified that your QRS is wide go to lead V1. If the “terminal force” of the QRS is above the baseline (big R wave) you have a RBBB. If the “terminal force” of the QRS is below the baseline (big S wave) you have a LBBB.

To assess the cardiac rhythm accurately, a prolonged recording from one lead is used to provide a rhythm strip. Lead II, which usually gives a good view of the P wave, is most commonly used to record the rhythm strip.
