Have a 3 lead ecg when i stand up the t wave disappears why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Position : EKG leads are sensitive to position and movement as both will change the position of your heart relative to the ekgs leads. The electrical flow through your heart will then be sensed by the lead differently which will affect the waveform that you’ll see. Hope that helps!
