The axis of the ECG is the major direction of the overall electrical activity of the heart. It can be normal, leftward (left axis deviation, or LAD), rightward (right axis deviation, or RAD ...

Read Determining Rate. The axis on the ECG can give a clue to many different pathologic states. Unless you are going into electrophysiology as a career, the only axis that you need to measure is ...

In a “normal” electrocardiogram (ECG), the transition of the QRS axis in the precordial leads occurs between leads V 3 and V 4 (i.e., there is a dominant S in V 3 and a dominant R in V 4).
