Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The system of leads in an electrocardiogram monitors the electrical activities of the heart. The leads are both unipolar and bipolar. The unipolar leads consist of one electrode at one end and one neutral electrode. These leads monitor the electrical activity between the positive electrode and the reference point at the center of the heart, which has zero electrical references. The bipolar leads consist of positive and negative electrodes. The frontal plane activity is monitored by the limb leads. The frontal plane activity involves the flow of electrical waves over the anterior surface of the heart.
