Question

What result do the various combinations of limb leads give?

(a) Einthoven’s Triangle

(b) Beethoven’s Triangle

(c) Bermuda’s Triangle

(d) Electrical Triangle

I had been asked this question in my homework.

This intriguing question comes from Electrocardiography in chapter Diagnostic Investigation in Neurology and Cardiology of Clinical Science

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) Einthoven’s Triangle

The best explanation: The leads are arranged in 3 combinations making one limb positive, one negative and the third as a neutral.  There is a vector arrow drawn from the negative side to the positive side. The three arrangements thus result in a triangle which is called the Einthoven’s triangle.
