Introduction to the 12-Lead ECG | Basics Explained Clearly
Getting a solid foundation in 12-lead ECG fundamentals is crucial before tackling advanced topics. In this video, we cover the essential bases: lead placement, axis basics, the meaning of each lead, and how to orient your interpretation moving forward. We explain the logic behind the 12 leads, how they view the heart in different planes, and how early insights guide ECG interpretation.
