A simple way to see the 12-lead ECG
Color-coding helps pattern recognition:
🟢 Inferior: II, III, aVF
🟡 Lateral: I, aVL, V5–V6
🔵 Anterior/septal: V1–V4
🔴 Right: aVR (± V1)
Instead of memorizing 12 leads individually, think in territories.
This makes STEMI localization faster, cleaner, and harder to miss.

14 Features to Analyze on Every ECG
1. Standardization (calibration) and technical quality
2. Heart rate(s): atrial and ventricular if not the same
3. Rhythm/AV conduction
4. PR (AV) interval
5. QRS interval (width)
6. QT/QTc intervals
7. QRS axis
8. P waves (width, amplitude, shape)
9. QRS voltages: normal, high or low
10. R wave progression in chest leads
11. Q waves (normal vs. abnormal)
12. ST segments
13. T waves
14. U waves
