ECG Axis
Limb and augmented leads
Precordial leads

Normal Axis

  • -30°→90°
  • Dominant QRS direction (positive or negative) can be used to approximate axis
    • Normal axis if positive QRS in leads I and aVF

Right Axis Deviation

  • Causes:
    • Right ventricular hypertrophy
    • Pulmonary hypertension - Acute (PE) & chronic lung disease (COPD)
    • Left posterior fascicular block
    • Lateral MI (from Q-waves in lead I)
    • Ventricular ectopy (VT)
    • Hyperkalemia
    • Lead misplacement
    • Dextrocardia
    • Normal thin adults with horizontally positioned hearts
