All ekg leads monitor the same electrical events but do so from different perspectives.
a. true
b. false

The answer to the question: All EKG leads monitor the same electrical events but do so from different perspectives, is, true.

Explanation:

The EKG is a diagnostic test whose purpose is literally to observe the electrical current that circulates the myocardial muscle as the heart begins to move to pump blood towards the body and towards the lungs for oxygenation. The EKG is a machine, with electrodes, that are capable of tracing the pattern, direction, and strength, of these electrical currents as the heart muscle depolarizes and repolarizes during a cycle. This means that all the leads in the EKG perform the same task, to measure the electrical current, but they do so from different directions, to measure how the current activates and stimulates the contraction and relaxation of the different parts of the heart. The positions of the leads, will depend on what part of the heart, during a cycle, wants to be observed electrically. Usually, the most common EKG asked for by doctors is the 12-lead EKG, which literally monitors all surfaces of the heart involved with this electrical current.
