precordial leads are also known as?

The Chest Leads (or Precordial Leads) These next six leads are called the Chest leads or the Precordial leads. This part may also become confusing because these precordial leads are six additional leads that use the same V technique we used with the 3 limb leads.

Premature beats that start in your heart's upper chambers are premature atrial contractions, or PACs. Those that start in the lower chambers are premature ventricular contractions, or PVCs.

The Standard 12 Lead ECG. The standard 12-lead electrocardiogram is a representation of the heart's electrical activity recorded from electrodes on the body surface. This section describes the basic components of the ECG and the lead system used to record the ECG tracings.

Specialty. Cardiology. Ectopic beat is a disturbance of the cardiac rhythm frequently related to the electrical conduction system of the heart, in which beats arise from fibers or group of fibers outside the region in the heart muscle ordinarily responsible for impulse formation (i.e., the sinoatrial node).

As the signal travels along the heart's conduction system, it triggers nearby parts of the heart to contract in a coordinated manner. Two bundle branches carry the electrical signal to the bottom of the heart and cause the ventricles to beat. These are termed the right bundle and left bundle.

Lead. In a sales context, a lead refers to contact with a potential customer, also known as a “prospect”. ... For some companies, a “lead” is a contact already determined to be a prospective customer, whereas other companies consider a “lead” to be any sales contact.

ST segment depression (not elevation) in V1 to V4. Think of things backwards. These are the septal and anterior ECG leads. The MI is posterior (opposite to these leads anatomically), so there is ST depression instead of elevation.

An ectopic rhythm is an irregular heart rhythm due to a premature heartbeat. Ectopic rhythm is also known as premature atrial contraction, premature ventricular contraction, and extrasystole. When your heart experiences an early beat, a brief pause usually follows.

The two leads on a diode are known as the Anode and Cathode. The Anode of the LED is the positive lead, and the cathode is the negative lead. On standard through-hole LEDs, the body will have a flattened edge on one side, the lead on this side is the cathode and is usually also the shorter lead.

The septum is represented on the ECG by leads V1 and V2, whereas the lateral wall is represented by leads V5, V6, lead I and lead aVL. To make things more complicated, sometimes the LAD “wraps around” the cardiac apex, which is a common anatomic variant.

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.

In second-degree atrioventricular nodal block — also known as Wenckebach block or Mobitz Type I AV block — varying failure of conduction through the AV node occurs, such that some P waves may not be followed by a QRS complex. Unlike first-degree AV nodal block, a 1:1 P-wave-to-QRS-complex ratio is not maintained.

Parts of an ECG 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.

SVT is often called paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) because it begins suddenly and ends suddenly. PSVT is due to a mechanism called re-entry. A premature beat gets caught in a loop, repeating itself over and over. The impulse is caught in a circular pathway that has a slow area within it.

These devices are called biventricular defibrillators and function in the same manner as implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) by providing a prompt electrical shock when you experience dangerous and fast heart rhythm problems from the bottom chamber of your heart.

5-electrode system Uses 5 electrodes (RA, RL, LA, LL and Chest) Monitor displays the bipolar leads (I, II and III) AND a single unipolar lead (depending on position of the brown chest lead (positions V1–6))
