1.9.17

The localization of the electrical forces in the frontal plane is made more precise by the addition of the other three limb or frontal plane leads, aVR, aVL and aVF. These are augmented unipolar leads and this explains the labels. a= augmented and V = unipolar voltage. The R, L and F indicate the location of the exploring electrode on the right arm, left arm or left leg respectively.
