Electrode placements for 12 lead ECG
Updated: Feb 20, 2020
12 lead ECG: 12 electrical views at 12 different angles
12 lead ECG requires 10 electrodes
The placements will be easy if we can memorize the location of the 7 electrodes coloured in blue
: RA, RL, LA, LL, V1, V2, V4
The location for the remaining 3 electrodes are derived from the location of V2 & V4
: V3, V5, V6
