Lead Groups
Once you know the lead directions, you can also group the leads into anatomical regions of the heart. These groups are useful because conditions like myocardial infarction may affect all of the leads in a particular group (e.g. an inferior infarct may affect the inferior leads of the ECG).
Inferior leads
Inferior leads include II, III and aVF
Septal leads
Septal leads include V1 and V2
Anterior leads
Anterior leads include V3 and V4.
Lateral leads
Lateral leads include V5, V6, I and aVL.
