Cardiac Electrical AxisPage 2

  • The cardiac electrical axis is a tool used to describe the direction od cardiac muscle depolarization.

Vector ComponentsPage 3

  • A vector's direction indicates the direction of cardiac depolarization.
  • A vector's size represents the amount of muscle tissue depolarizing.
