    Summary: 12 leads = 12 views of the heart 10 electrodes used. 4 in limbs, 6 in the chest. Right leg is used as a ground (earth). The electrodes in three limbs form a triangle, which gives 6 views ( 3 Biploar views (Lead I, II, III) and 3 unipolar views (aVR, aVL, and aVF). Other 6 leads (views) are obtained from 6 electrodes placed in the chest region that give Horizontal Plane.

    I have watched a number of your videos to help me understand what they don't seem to be able to teach in class, you are amazing! I always understand what your saying and you make everything clear, thank you!

    I just love you, sir. May Allah give you a healthy and happy life
  • Thank you! I'm in Paramedic school and we just started cardiology, our textbook only gives this about 2 paragraphs of explanation before jumping into rhythms. This video helped me to understand how and why the different leads work, rather than "here's how to put the electrodes on, now just look at Lead II mostly".
