Abstract

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the cornerstones of diagnostic investigations in pediatric or adult cardiology. The standard ECG includes 12 leads; there are 6 leads that are derived from electrodes from the arms and legs (Einthoven and Goldberger leads) and 6 precordial leads (Wilson leads).
