what does V in ECG stands for?

Answer 1

This will help you out in understanding V leads:

Also known as Precordial Leads:-

The precordial leads V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6 are placed directly on the chest. Because of their close proximity to the heart, they do not require augmentation. Wilson's central terminal is used for the negative electrode, and these leads are considered to be unipolar. The precordial leads view the heart's electrical activity in the so-called horizontal plane. The heart's electrical axis in the horizontal plane is referred to as the Z axis.

Leads V1, V2, and V3 are referred to as the right precordial leads and V4, V5, and V6 are referred to as the left precordial leads.

The QRS complex should be negative in lead V1 and positive in lead V6. The QRS complex should show a gradual transition from negative to positive between leads V2 and V4. The equiphasic lead is referred to as the transition lead. When the transition occurs earlier than lead V3, it is referred to as an early transition. When it occurs later than lead V3, it is referred to as a late transition. There should also be a gradual increase in the amplitude of the R wave between leads V1 and V4. This is known as R wave progression. Poor R wave progression is a nonspecific finding. It can be caused by conduction abnormalities, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, and other pathological conditions.

* Lead V1 is placed in the fourth intercostal space to the right of the sternum.
* Lead V2 is placed in the fourth intercostal space to the left of the sternum.
* Lead V3 is placed directly between leads V2 and V4.
* Lead V4 is placed in the fifth intercostal space in the midclavicular line (even if the apex beat is displaced).
* Lead V5 is placed directly between leads V4 and V6.
* Lead V6 is placed horizontal with V4 in the midaxillary line.

I hope you understand it being a bit of physics is involved too.

Answer 2

Ecg Stands For

Answer 3

vector....it refers to the leads put on the chest and limbs to obtain the ECG picture of the electrical path...

Answer 4

Ventricular depolarisation: also called a QRS complex wave.

Answer 5

It means you should have your eyes checked. Do you see a "V" in ECG ?? Also you probably meant EKG.

Answer 6

LMAO- Laughing my a** out IDK- I don't know OMG- Oh, my God! F*CK- Friends you (u) can keep KIT- Keep in touch TCCIC- Take care 'cause I care ASAP- As soon as possible B*TCH- Being in touch can help WB- Write back And lastly, my favorite: FTP, F*ck that Puto (Poo-toe). You figure the the last word. Peace!

Answer 7

E C G There is no V in these letters!
