Rule of Electrical Flow

• Current flowing toward a positive electrode creates an upright deflection.

• Current flowing toward a negative electrode creates a downward deflection.

• When the lead is at right angles to the current, the line is isoelectric (neither upright nor downward).

Lead

• A combination of electrodes that reflects flow of electricity between two points on opposing sides of the heart.

Leads

• Bipolar leads have one positive and one negative electrode.

• Unipolar leads have a positive electrode, but the opposing electrode is created by combining other electrodes into a central terminal, an electrically neutral point situated to reference the center of the heart.

Mean QRS Axis

• The axis of the heart as a whole; the aggregate of all the electrical vectors in the heart.

Lead Axis vs.Mean QRS Axis

• When the two are parallel, the deflections are either positive or negative.

• When the two are perpendicular, the complexes are biphasic.

Features of a Normal 12-Lead EKG

• All waves upright (except aVR)

• Small Q waves in lateral leads (I, aVL, V6)

• T waves in V1-V6 should be smooth, gradual

• T wave: positive, negative, or biphasic in V1; positive in V2–V6

• QRS transition from V1 (small R, large S) to V6 (small Q, large R), roughly equiphasic in V3(V4)
