12 lead ECG
• Electrical recording of the heart
• Conduction system creates electrical impulses
• Majority of cells in the body generate an electrical signal that can be measured
![Page 6: Revised corn 2 class20](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/556b90b7d8b42ada358b4761/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Normal 12 lead ECG
![Page 7: Revised corn 2 class20](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/556b90b7d8b42ada358b4761/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Electrical forces and vectors
Cardiac vector:
• Vector describes electrical impulses of cells
• Electrical current is generated by depolarization and repolarization
• Vectors show strength and direction of the electrical impulse
• Depicted as an arrow
![Page 8: Revised corn 2 class20](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/556b90b7d8b42ada358b4761/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cardiac Vector
![Page 9: Revised corn 2 class20](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/556b90b7d8b42ada358b4761/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cardiac Vectors
• Add up when going in the same direction
• Cancel each other out if going in opposite directions
• Sum of all vectors in ventricle = electrical axis
• Determination of QRS vector

Currents, vectors, and axes
• Parallel to lead axis positive or negative deflection
• Perpendicular to lead axis no deflection
• The greater the magnitude, the larger the deflection
![Page 41: Revised corn 2 class20](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/556b90b7d8b42ada358b4761/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
