Electrical Position of the Heart

The electrical position of the heart is an important indicator of the work of the heart, determining its electrical activity at the moment of contraction. Deviations from the norm may indicate various heart diseases and heart rhythm disturbances. The study of the electrical position of the heart is carried out using an electrocardiogram - a recording of the electrical impulses of the heart. In this case, the potential difference is recorded between two electrodes placed on the chest in the area where the heart is located. Normally, the electrical potential is 0, but in the presence of pathological changes it may deviate from this value. The electrical position of the heart depends
