In an ECG what are the precordial leads positive with respect to?

In an ECG, the precordial leads (V1 to V6) are positive with respect to a common reference point, which is typically the center of the heart or the Wilson central terminal (a theoretical point derived from the average of the limb electrodes). Each precordial lead measures the electrical activity of the heart in a specific plane and direction, providing insight into the heart's electrical conduction and potential abnormalities. The positive orientation of these leads allows for the assessment of various cardiac conditions by highlighting specific areas of the heart.


What are the names of the ECG leads used to monitor heart activity?

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).


What does precordial repolarization disturbance mean?

What does a poor R wave progression mean in a cardiogram?

Poor R wave progression is a vague term used to describe the transition in voltage in the precordial leads of an electrocardiogram (ECG). It is not a diagnosis but simply describes a pattern frequently noted. In a "normal" individual there is a progressive increase in the magnitude of the voltage in the leads from V1 to V4. When the peak voltage occurs later than V4 it is considered diminished or delayed. The normal criteria are very old and were likely based upon pathologic data. Current ECG technology includes computer interpretation. This particular pattern is usually reported out as "cannot rule out anterior myocardial infarction." The placement of the precordial leads is paramount in obtaining a reliable ECG pattern. Frequently the precordial leads are placed in the wrong position in haste to obtain the electrocardiographic tracing. Women particulary large breasted are most likely to have the leads improperly placed as the left breast usually overlies the 4th and sometimes the 5th intercostal space (where the leads should be placed). In summary, the term poor R wave progression is a vague term and not a diagnosis. Verification of proper leads placement should be the first response followed by echocardiography if there remains concern that there has been prior myocardial injury.
