  1. hi ...

    i would like to know that in detecting cardio vascular diseases if i m using ECG ... would it be
    sufficient if i just looked at lead ii and lead vi ..

    ...or rather wat are the case or conditions that CANNOT be noted on lead ii or lead vi ? what are
    the leads that are looked at by the cardiologist to check for these ?

    secondly , wat "serious" heart conditions do not show changes (or cannot be diagnosed)
    looking at ECGs ?

    thanks

    The sensitivity to detect anything is decreased.

    The information from all leads is looked at by a cardiologist.

    Severely occlusive coronary disease may exhibit no changes on a resting ECG.
