In a standard Electrocardiogram, an augmented limb lead measures the electrical potential difference between

A
Two limbs
B
One limb and two other limbs
C
One limb and neutral (Zero)
D
Two limbs and two other limbs
High-Yield Explanation
Augmented limb leads are recordings between one limb and the other two limbs Augmented limb leads, designated by the letter a (aVR, aVL, aVF), are generally used Ref: Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology Twenty-Third Edition Page No:495 aVR: b/w right arm (+electrode)and left arm+left leg(-electrode) aVL: b/w the left arm(+electrodes) and right arm+left leg(-electrode) aVF: b/w the left foot (+electrode)and right arm+left arm(-electrode) Vector of augmented limb lead=3/2 vector of unaugmented limb lead.
