Diagram of ECG placement for dextrocardia?

In dextrocardia, where the heart is positioned on the right side of the chest instead of the left, the electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode placement needs to be modified. Here's a diagram and explanation:

ECG Placement for Dextrocardia

[Image of a person's chest depicting the electrode placement for dextrocardia.]

Left arm electrode (LA): Place the left arm electrode on the right arm, just below the shoulder joint.

Right arm electrode (RA): Place the right arm electrode on the left arm, just below the shoulder joint.

Left leg electrode (LL): Place the left leg electrode on the right leg, just below the knee joint.

Right leg electrode (RL): Place the right leg electrode on the left leg, just below the knee joint.

Chest electrodes: Place the chest electrodes according to the standard ECG electrode placement, but mirror the positions. For example, the V1 electrode would be placed on the left side of the sternum in the fourth intercostal space, while the V6 electrode would be placed on the right side of the sternum in the fifth intercostal space.

By flipping the electrode placements, the ECG can accurately capture the electrical activity of the dextrocardia heart.
