Gurevich ECG Lead System

Gurevich ECG Lead System

Gurevich ECG lead system is a system for arranging electrodes when recording an electrocardiogram, proposed by the Soviet cardiologist Mikhail Borisovich Gurevich.

It is based on standard Einthoven leads and improved (unipolar) Wilson chest leads. Unlike the generally accepted lead system, the Gurevich system uses additional unipolar leads: aVR, aVL and aVF (right arm, left arm and left leg, respectively).

These three additional unipolar leads allow more accurate localization of myocardial lesions. In addition, the Gurevich system makes it possible to calculate the electrical axis of the heart from changes in the P wave.

Thus, Gurevich's ECG lead system is a modified version of the standard system, which allows one to obtain more complete information about the condition of the heart. It is widely used in cardiological practice in Russia and the countries of the former USSR.



The Gurevich ECG lead system is a technique developed by Soviet cardiologist Vitaly Gurevich in the 1940s for more accurate and efficient ECG analysis. It is based on the principle that data from each cardiac cycle can be recorded separately during an ECG. During recording, each phase of the cardiac cycle, including contractions and relaxations, is recorded in a separate lead. This allows you to get a more complete understanding of the work of the heart and its conditions.

Thus, the Gurevich system has the following advantages: - More accurate display of changes in the electrical activity of the heart; - Fast and accurate interpretation of examination results; - Ability to monitor changes in heart function over a long period of time. In addition, the system can help in the diagnosis and treatment of various cardiovascular diseases such as arrhythmia, coronary heart disease, hypertension, etc. It provides information on heart rate, electrocardiogram amplitude and waveform, as well as other parameters that associated with the work of the heart. Gurevich's ECG method allows one to obtain more accurate and informative data on the state of the heart, which is of great importance for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disorders.

However, despite all these advantages, the Gurevich abduction system is quite complex for
