Serial ECGs >80% sensitive.

What is Marriot's lead in ECG and what is its importance?
- MCL1 is also known as Marriot's lead
- It is the most important lead at the time of uncertainty
- Best to assess Atrial activity
- Helps in analysis of QRS
- Best for analysis of PAT with Block
What is BIX RULE?
Described by Harold Bix, a Viennese Cardiologist from Baltimore
If 'P' wave is halfway between ventricular complex , additional 'P' wave is most probably hiding 'within' the QRS complex
Seen in PAT with block
