The industry standard is 12 lead.

Besides the Frank and 3 lead AVL the industry standard is 12 lead:

Using a 9 or 10 lead each set their own morphological parameters and each
require a whole new set of learning. I'm sure you know this, right? Google
"inverse problem" and "cardiac surface potentials".




Bob, this troll failed because my wife is actually a nurse at a leading
heart hospital.

That hospital is not a leading heart hospital (check out the Cleveland
Clinic sometime) and you wife is an entry level nurse.

They use 9-10 leads. If you want to ease off on the
googling, try picking up of a copy of Brunner and Suddarth's Textbook
of Medical-Surgical Nursing.

That's a nursing book. It's for nurses.


Placement is shown with 9 leads. Which
lead is the best indicator, Bob?

12 leads, it is used throughout the industry. Let's "Google" 9 lead ECG
and see what comes up:

whoops!

http://ehs.umbc.edu/CE/12-LeadECG/Multi-LeadMedics.html In all fairness 9
lead is mentioned, but where is the 10 lead you spoke of? hmmm????????

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...&dopt=Abstract 9
leads mentioned here as a modified 3 channel holter, but no 10 leads. 12
lead still the gold standard!

St Francis recommends 12 lead here! Ooops!

http://www.stfrancishospitals.org/De...agei d=P00198

AND OH MY GOD! OH NO!!!!!!! ST. FRANCIS ON LONG ISLAND WANTS NURSES THAT
