EKG Plain & Simple Chapter 4 Technical Aspects of the EKG

Which of the following is NOT a bipolar lead?

• Lead II

• AVF

• Lead I

• Lead III

Joining leads I, II and III at their ends produces

• The triaxial diagram

• The hexiaxial diagram

• Einthoven's triangle

• the precordial leads

The procodrial leads are located on the

• Arms

• Legs

• Back

• Chest

Augmented leads are

• The same as bipolar leads

• Leads in which the EKG machine must increase voltage

• The same as precordial leads

• Leads I, II, III

Lead I connects which limbs?

• Right arm and Left leg

• Right arm and right leg

• Right arm and left arm

• Left arm and right leg

Lead II connects which limbs?

• Right arm and left leg

• Right arm and right leg

• Right arm and left arm

• Left arm and right leg

Lead III connects which limbs?

• Right arm and left leg

• Right arm and right leg

• Right arm and left arm

• Left arm and left leg

Bipolar leads

• Have a positive pole & a negative pole

• Have a positive pole & a central terminal acting as a negative pole

• Join leads on the back of the body with leads on the front

• Are V1 through V6

V1 through V6 are the

• Bipolar leads

• Frontal leads

• Augmented leads

• Precordial leads

Einthoven's law states that

• Lead I + Lead III=Lead II

• Lead II + Lead III = Lead I

• V1 + V5 = V4

• Lead I + Lead II = Lead III
