I have a Lifepak 12 - I use if for 12 leads in the surgery. I am not
quite sure why yet but my nurse is producing me a rhythm strip with
every ECG - on the rhythm strip there is nearly always a bit of ST
elevation but if I look at the *same lead* on the 12 lead that is
printed next to it, there is no ST elevation. I intend to ask physio
control about this but am wondering whether the rhythm strip is produced
from limited physical leads - I need to refresh my memory about what
leads are involved and will report back
Cheers
