NCIt related terms : FRANK LEAD SYSTEM;
NCIt definition : An electrocardiogram (ECG) lead placement for determining 3 orthogonal components
X (right to left direction), Y (foot to head direction) and Z (back to front direction)
of the heart. For this method a minimum of 4 electrodes are needed that represent
the right arm, left arm, left leg and back. However, ususally 7 electrodes are used
to avoid dependence on the dipole location and facilitate interpretation.;
