When you average all electrical signals from the heart, you can indicate the direction of the average electrical depolarization with an arrow (vector). This is the heartaxis. Especially a change of the heartaxis or an extreme deviation can be an indication for pathology. | When you average all electrical signals from the heart, you can indicate the direction of the average electrical depolarization with an arrow (vector).
