ECG leads are electrodes placed on the skin that detect the electrical signals produced by the heart. These signals are then amplified and recorded by the ECG machine, which creates a visual representation of the heart's electrical activity on a graph.
The names of the ECG leads used to monitor heart activity are the standard limb leads (I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF) and the precordial leads (V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6).

CPT Code 93000 -Electrocardiogram, routine ECG with at least 12 leads; with interpretation and report.
Electrocardiogram, routine ECG w/ at least 12 leads; w/ interpretation and report.
Yes, leads placed incorrectly can create the appearance of an anterior infarct on an electrocardiogram (ECG) by altering the electrical signals detected. It is crucial to ensure proper placement of leads to obtain accurate ECG readings and avoid misinterpretation. Consulting with a healthcare provider or technician can help ensure correct lead placement for accurate monitoring.
CPT 93010 stands for: "Electrocardiogram, routine ECG with at least 12 leads; interpretation and report only."Do not report 0302T-0304T, 0305T, 0306T in conjunction with 93000-93010.
