    The document discusses the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) used to record the electrical activity of the heart. It notes that positive electric flow moving toward the positive electrode on the ECG produces an upward deflection, and describes the bipolar limb leads I, II, III and unipolar augmented voltage leads aVR, aVL, aVF. It also shows the placement of the six precordial leads V1 through V6 on the chest.
