The electrical activity of the heart can be observed from the horizontal plane and the frontal plane. The ability of a lead to detect vectors in a certain plane depends on how the lead is angled in relation to the plane, which in turn depends on the placement of the exploring lead and the reference point.

For pedagogical purposes, consider a lead with one electrode placed on the head and the other electrode placed on the left foot. The angle of this lead would be vertical, from the head to the foot. This lead is angled in the frontal plane and it will primarily detect vectors traveling in that plane. Refer to Figure 17 panel A. Now consider a lead with an electrode placed on the sternum and the other electrode placed on the back (on the same level). This lead will be angled from the back to the anterior chest wall, which is the horizontal plane. This lead will primarily record vectors traveling in that plane. A schematic illustration is provided in Figure 15. Refer to Figure 17 panel B.

The limb leads, of which there are six (I, II, III, aVF, aVR and aVL), have the exploring electrode and the reference point placed in the frontal plane. These leads are therefore excellent for detecting vectors traveling in the frontal plane. The chest (precordial) leads (V1, V2, V3, V4, V5 and V6) have the exploring electrodes located anteriorly on the chest wall and the reference point located inside the chest. Hence, the chest leads are excellent for detecting vectors traveling in the horizontal plane.

As noted previously only three leads, namely leads I, II and III (which are actually Willem Einthoven’s original leads) are derived by using only two electrodes. The remaining nine leads use a reference which is composed of the average of either two or three electrodes. This will be clarified shortly.

Dr. Najeeb, you are my hero ❤️ I was a very bad student in my medical college, but I started listening to your lectures. Now I'm done with all the USMLE exams and I have made a channel for guidance for medical students, all over the world

[MatirManush-wucc]

In our entire medical career we have never seen a professor like Dr. Najeeb. My young friends are really really lucky to have such an excellent teacher. Dr. Najeeb is unparalleled. May God bless him.

[PearlsofMedicalNutrition]

I really really wish i had medical teachers just like you😥
Your students are so lucky to have you as a mentor but yeah this youtube channel is also doing the same for us😍

[allvideosgonewith]

Even a 5th grader student should understand this after his lecture.

[amarnathbhadra]

Best cardiology professor in the Globe who has comand on his domain and he gained considerable knowledge in the Electrical engineering .

[rajubai]

While watching u r videos, we develop a great confident that we can explain others with the great knowledge & confidence.thank u sir...

[johnkodhek]

So grateful to have access to such a legendary teacher. The clarity of explanation and enthusiasm for teaching can only inspire a student to learn. Thank you Dr. Najeeb and team!

[jarlandoworld]

Sir I a medical student and I faced a lot of problems in my medic studies but when I come to your channel even time I successfully made it through thanks sir

[Adnanshah]

Thank you sir for this video, its very helpful for me to understanding this topic, now i am in UKRAINE for MBBS
From INDIA
ALLAH bless you

[MdMasud-gzmq]

Awasome explanation sir.. although I am an engineer but function and characteristics of chest lead is clear to me.

[kalyanisagar]

I am a nurse sir...it is more useful to me sir....very understanding word from your memory

[MuntazirAaqib]

The Golden Way Of Teaching any of the topic is tremendous. may Allah Bless You more and More Aameen 🤲 All your Videos are highly Knowledgeable . Thanks for being a noble mentor for me 💐💐💐💐
