Precordial
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-013429
Relating to the region of the chest wall situated in front of the heart. This anatomical area is the site for placing electrodes for an electrocardiogram (ECG) to record the heart's electrical activity. The standard 12-lead ECG uses six precordial leads, designated V1 through V6, which are placed at specific intercostal spaces from the right sternal border to the left midaxillary line.
