These experimental leads (designated as multiplane chest leads) consisted of combinations of linear electrodes placed on the anterior and posterior surfaces of the chest parallel to and beyond the estimated borders of the heart; in contra-distinction to the conventional chest leads, advocated by other investigators3, 4, 5in which at least one electrode of sufficiently large circumference was placed on the anterior or posterior...References1.
