Abstract
Standard, augmented limb leads and three orthogonal leads (I, aVF and V10) taken simultaneously were recorded from 25 rabbits. Records were analyzed for rate, rhythm, interval duration and component amplitudes. The wave forms of QRS complexes were analyzed in all leads. P, QRS, and T vectors were calculated for the mean frontal (dorsal), sagittal, and transverse planes. Study of orthogonal leads in sternal recumbency indicated that ventricular activation is spatially oriented sinistrad or dextrad, ventrad and caudad.
