Compromise in vectorcardiography Displacement of electrodes as a means of adapting one lead system to another

Abstract

An attempt was made to improve the agreement between the Schmitt SVEC-II and the burger B1W4″ systems by shifting the ventral and dorsal electrodes of the SVEC-II system caudally and cranially, respectively. Although a statistically significant improvement in agreement was obtained, it hardly warrants practical use of the procedure.
