Adaptability in precordial lead placement is one of the sources of electrocardiography inaccuracy. The present experimental study aimed to investigate the modified precordial lead ECG SafOne on electrocardiography recordings. Fourteen subjects were selected using purposive sampling. All the artefacts that emerged in the ECG recording results from the subjects using both the modified precordial lead ECG SafOne and precordial lead standard ECG were measured and identified. Data were analysed using a t test to examine the difference in the artefacts from all ECG recordings. The electrocardiography recordings of males aged 21-25 years using modified precordial lead ECG SafOne showed that out of 168 precordial leads from 14 subjects, two indicated artefact images in lead II (1.19%) and three in lead III (1.79%). The statistical test showed no significant difference in terms of artefacts that emerged in the electrocardiography recording results from both standard ECG and modified precordial lead ECG SafOne (p = 0.096). The modified precordial lead ECG SafOne showed no significant effect on ECG recordings related to artefacts. Additionally, the precordial lead ECG SafOne had no substantial difference in the presence of artefacts compared to the standard ECG. Therefore, ECG SafOne was usable as an ECG precordial lead for electrocardiography recording.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). We aimed to analyze the risk factors, clinical presentations, evaluation and management strategies as well as outcomes of adult pulmonary thromboembolism cases at a tertiary care center.
Methods: In a retrospective observational study, all consecutive adult pulmonary thromboembolism cases admitted from January 2019 to September 2020 at our center were enrolled in this study.

High altitude pulmonary oedema (HAPO) is a common emergency seen at high altitude. It can be associated with electrocardiogram (ECG) changes due to pulmonary arterial hypertension in the form of ST elevation and T wave inversion in the right precordial leads, which mimic acute coronary syndrome. These changes can lead to confusion in diagnosis and management.

ECG in Brugada syndrome (BrS) is characterized by a ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads. Overlap between ST-segment changes in BrS and ischemia may lead to diagnostic challenges. We report a case of a male patient presented with recurrent chest pain episodes and ST elevation in the right precordial leads consistent with Brugada ECG pattern type 1 and was clinically diagnosed with BrS at the age of 30 years.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate a specific ECG measurement—the 'time to first nadir of the QRS complex in aVR compared to aVL'—to differentiate between left and right outflow tract premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) in patients.
- Data was collected from 88 patients who underwent ablation for outflow tract PVCs, finding that 57.9% had PVCs originating from the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and 42.1% from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT).
- The findings suggest that while this new measurement isn't as precise as existing ECG criteria, it can still assist in determining the origin of PVCs, with certain ratios indicating a higher likelihood of RVOT
