Hexaxial System
• Traditional method
• 6 limb leads at various angles
• Somewhat tedious and difficult to master
21

What Is Axis?
• Overall direction of travel of electrical impulses as they move through the heart
• Normal axis is downward and toward the left
![Page 5: DETERMING AXIS AN HEMIBLOQ.ppt](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051609/54618f19af7959477b8b4aaf/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Normal Axis
• Upright complexes in Leads I, II, III
• Forces going toward all three leads
• Impulses going toward a positive, make a positive deflection
22

Physiological Left Axis
• Normal variant in adults
• Common in obesity and athletes
• Lead II can show upward or halfway deflection
• Lead III is down

Pathological Left Axis
• Disease process
• Suggests anterior hemiblock
• Patients are 4 times more likely to arrest with a hemiblock and “chest pain”
23

Right Axis Deviation
• Rare occurrence in adults
• Almost always pathological
• Associated with posterior hemiblock
• Lead I down and Lead III up
24

Extreme Right Axis Deviation
• Indeterminate axis
• Usually ventricular in origin
• Down in all three leads, I, II, III
24

Fascicular Block (Hemiblock)
• A block of one of the two fascicles of the left bundle
• ECG diagnosis
• Based on axis deviation
25

Anterior Hemiblock
• Pathological left axis• 4x higher mortality
rate when with an AMI
• Proximal occlusion until proven otherwise

Posterior Hemiblock
• Right axis deviation
• Very high mortality with an AMI
• Serious problem involving two coronary arteries
26

To Determine Axis
• Run Leads I, II, and III
• Leads must be on the limbs!
• Look at the net QRS deflection in each lead (does it go up or down, or halfway)
• Compare to the rapid axis and hemiblock chart
27

Calculated Axis Angle
• Machine calculates this for you
• Use it with your chart
• Look at the “QRS axis” or the “R axis” on some units
• Follow the chart
