5-Lead ECG (Continuous Right arm (RA):** White electrode
Monitoring): below the right clavicle.
Left arm (LA):** Black electrode below
the left clavicle.
Left leg (LL):** Red electrode on the
left side of the abdomen. Right leg
(RL):** Green electrode on the right
side of the abdomen.
Precordial (V1):** Brown
electrode placed at the fourth
intercostal space, just to the right
of the sternum.
Mnemonic:** "White on right, smoke
(black) over fire (red), green goes to
the ground (right leg), brown is
central."
,What is cardiac stress the patient walks or runs on a treadmill
test? (most common) or pedals a stationary
bicycle.
The test is stopped when the target
heart rate is achieved or if the
patient experiences signs of
myocardial ischemia.
Abnormal findings include chest
pain
ventricular arrhythmia ST-
segment depression lack
of heart rate or BP
elevation with exercise
, 12 lead ECG placement -Step 1—Place limb leads (I, II,
III, aVR, aVL, aVF)
Right arm (RA):** White electrode
below the right clavicle.
Left arm (LA):** Black electrode below
the left clavicle.
Left leg (LL):** Red electrode on the
left lower chest or abdomen.
Right leg (RL):** Green
electrode on the right lower
chest or abdomen (ground).
Proper electrode placement is
essential to avoid artifacts and
ensure accurate readings
Precordial (Chest) Leads (V1-
V6):**
V1 Fourth intercostal space to the
right of the sternum. v2Fourth
intercostal space to the left of the
sternum v3Midway between V2
and V4. V4 Fifth intercostal space
at the midclavicular line.
V5At the anterior axillary line, horizontal to
V4.
V6 At the midaxillary line, horizontal to
V4 and V5.
