Regarding misplacement of limb leads prior to
recording a 12-lead electrocardiogram, the following misplacements would mimic the stated
condition EXCEPT which one?
a) Left-arm electrode and right-arm electrode switch
– dextrocardia
b) Right-leg electrode and right-arm electrode
switch – pericardial effusion
c) Left-arm electrode and left-leg electrode switch – inferior myocardial infarction
d) Right-leg electrode and left-leg electrode switch
– true posteriormyocardial infarction
e) Clockwise rotated limb leads (with right leg
correctly sited) – extra-nodal atrial rhythm
