How Heart Rates Differ Between Each Lead In Einthoven’s Triangle?

Einthoven's triangle is an imaginary equilateral triangle which is formed with the heart at the centre. It is formed by lines that stand for the three standard limb leads of the electrocardiogram. This triangle is named after Willem Einthoven a Dutch doctor and physiologist. He invented world's first electrocardiogram and was awarded a Nobel Prize for it.

The difference in the heart rates are between the leads in an Einthoven's triangle is determined by various methods like ECG and EKG. They found out the irregularities and arrhythmic behaviour of the heart due through the evaluation of the electrical activity of the heart. Thus it involves a complex depiction of all of the electrical activity of the heart and not just individual action potentials.
