Transcript of the video: When we talk about the electrical axis in the ECG, we usually mean the mean QRS axis. Even though it is possible to calculate the axis of each component of the QRS like the initial activation and later activation, we usually mean the mean QRS electrical axis. And, electrical axis can be calculated for the P wave, PR segment, QRS complex, ST segment and T wave.
