triaxial reference system

triaxial reference system
a series of lines used in electrocardiography to describe the potentials in the heart by diagramming frontal plane vectors that represent the standard bipolar limb leads; it is a rearrangement of the vectors composing the Einthoven triangle so that they bisect a single central point. See illustration at hexaxial reference s.
