lead placement

Lead placement refers to the specific positioning of small sensors called electrodes on the body to monitor heart activity, typically for an ECG test. These electrodes are placed on key areas such as the chest, arms, and legs, arranged in a precise pattern to accurately record electrical signals generated by the heart. Proper placement ensures clear, reliable readings, which are essential for diagnosing heart conditions. The arrangement varies depending on the type of ECG being performed, but consistent placement by trained personnel helps produce accurate and consistent results.
