Heart Biomarker Evaluation in Apnea Treatment

5.5.2.1 Locating Electrodes V6

  1. Move the participant’s elbow laterally away from his/her body.
  2. Note the starting point of the left midaxillary line between the axillary folds formed by the anterior and posterior axillary lines.
  3. Follow the midaxillary line in the exact vertical center plane of the thorax down to the intersection of the horizontal plane marked by the location of E. This is the exact location of the V6 electrode.

NOTE: It is a common mistake to locate the midaxillary line too far anteriorly, towards V5 location.
