The meaning and importance of recording right-sided precordial leads
Abstract
This is the fourth installment in the electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation series by Jerry W. Jones MD FACEP FAAEM for this journal. At first, he discussed simple atrioventricular (AV) dissociation versus AV dissociation caused by third degree AV block; then, he shares some very important pearls regarding ECG interpretation. And in latest one, he pointed to the importance of Hexaxial Reference Grid. For this paper, some valuable references were reviewed.
