Abstract:
The relation on roentgenograms between the intercostal spaces and routinely selected chest electrode Position 4 on the one hand and the mammary nipple on the other was determined in 15 infants. The nipple was more frequently located over the fifth intercostal space than the electrode position selected by palpation. This difference is ascribed to poor delineation of the angle of Louis in this age group.

Introduction
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia.
Definition
An electrocardiogram (ECG) visualizes the heart's electrical activity by tracing the electrical movement associated with each heartbeat on a graph or monitor. As the heart beats, an electrical wave passes through it, correlating with the cardiac cycle events.
