A unified way to assess the electrical axis displacement of the heart

Abstract

As new electrophysiological and clinical information about the heart becomes available, the importance of determining the spatial orientation of the electrical axis of the heart is increasing in practical medicine. Suffice it to mention that displacement of the electrical axis of the heart is one of the cardinal symptoms of partial blocks of the left Gis bundle. At the same time, the evaluation of the electrical axis, limited to its projection on the frontal plane, and the terminology of the axis deviation, established many years ago, do not reflect the new trends in electrocardiography and need to be adjusted accordingly.
