Placement of ECG Leads

[nikipoo]

Again as said above, check your monitors settings and check that they are calibrated to the wrists or the torso. That will make a difference. Its down to an eye to see as well and being aware of transient acute coronary syndrome symptoms *such as apical ballooning and coronary artery spasm*.

It's not all about the STEMI either, its all about your systematic review of the 12 lead and following a sequence to interpret it.

Im sorry, I understand about the "monitor" thing, I was thinking about actual EKG machines, like whats at the hospitals and dr. offices. I have looked all thru the manual for the one I have and it doesn't say anywhere in that thing about limb lead placement
