    The document discusses the electrocardiographic leads used to record an electrocardiogram (ECG). It describes the six standard limb leads, including three bipolar leads that measure potential differences between electrode pairs placed on opposite sides of the heart, as well as three augmented unipolar leads that measure potential differences between a single limb and the mean potential of the other two limbs. Diagrams are included to illustrate Einthoven's triangle and the placements of electrodes for the different leads.

    The electrocardiographic Leads
    (6 limb leads):
    c.Three standard “bipolar” limb leads:
    Each lead is actually a pair of
    electrodes connected to the body
    on opposite sides of the heart
    (e.g. lead I, records potential
    difference between electrodes
    placed on right arm and left
    arm).

    b. Augmented “ unipolar ” limb leads:
    These are aVR, aVL and aVF. They
    are recorded by a special arrangement
    in the electrocardiograph, which shows
    potential difference between one limb
    and mean potential in the other two
    limbs.
