Abstract

Summary Maximum vectors, half-area vectors, and width of QRS loops in frontal, sagittal and horizontal planes (Frank System) of one hundred healthy subjects were independently measured by two observers. Overall correlations between measurements by the two observers were high. There was a significant correlation between the half-area QRS vector and the maximum QRS vector. The standard deviation of the differences in measurements between the two observers was relatively small for the maximum QRS vector, but large for the magnitude and orientation of the half-area vector and for the width of the QRS loop. It is concluded that reliability of measurement of the half-area vector and QRS loop width is so poor that their diagnostic value is limited, but that for the maximum QRS vector is acceptable.
