[Swedish ECG presentation is logical and easily understood]

During four decades, the ECG limb lead display has differed between Sweden and the rest of the world. In the classical, or international, display, the limb leads are presented in two groups in non-contiguous order: I, II, III, and aVR, aVL, aVF. When ECG recording and presentation was standardized in Sweden, a joint decision between several medical specialty associations was made to use the so-called Cabrera presentation, in which limb leads are presented in contiguous order: aVL, I, -aVR, II, aVF and III. This presentation is logical and easily understood.
