spatial vectorcardiography

spatial vectorcardiography
vector cardiography in which the potential vectors of cardiac excitation are projected upon three mutually perpendicular coordinates, usually designated X, Y, and Z, where X is the transverse (right or left), Y the vertical (up or down), and Z the sagittal (anterior or posterior). See also orthogonal lead system, under system.
