Three to 12 leads may be employed
Electrocardiography (ECG) involves placing electrodes on the skin to record the electrical activity of the heart. These electrodes pick up the signals generated by the heart during each heartbeat, which are then displayed as a graph. This graph, known as an electrocardiogram, provides information about the heart's rhythm, rate, and any potential abnormalities.
Electrocardiography (ECG or EKG) is the process of recording the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time using electrodes placed on the skin.
patient disrobes from the waist up, and electrodes (tiny wires in adhesive pads) are applied to specific sites on the arms, legs, and chest. When attached, these electrodes are called leads; three to 12 leads may be employed for the procedure
LeadsThe term "lead" in electrocardiography causes much confusion because it is used to refer to two different things Limb leadsUnipolar vs. bipolar leadsPrecordial leadsClinical lead groups

it will be useless to use 3 electrodes. IT IS WASTE OF MONEY.Two , three or four electrodes can be used but it only increases the rate of reaction.
