Step 1
Inspect the Limb Leads and identify one where the QRS
complex has a net magnitude near Zero.
Step 2
Try to imagine the position of this lead on the hexaxial
reference system

Next inspect the inferior leads (i.e. II, III, aVF) and apply the
golden rule of the ECG
III aVF II
If they show predominantly
positive deflections then the
axis of the heart must be
directed toward them
If they show
predominantly negative
deflections then the axis
of the heart must be
directed away from them

Step 7
Note: For even more accurate calculation of the cardiac axis
If the negative deflection of
aVR
-60 aVR was bigger than the
positive one, then, the axis
is slightly directed away
from aVR e.g. +105 rather
than + 120.
