Wilson leads (normally V1-V6) are so called unipolar leads: that means that 3 extremities' electrodes are put together over a high resistance to a so called "indifferent" electrode, against which you can record electrical activity to pretty much any point of the body. So, as you correctly stated, you need 3 extremities' leads RA, LA, LF (+ ground RF of ...

Literally translating the terms would say that bradycardia is a "slow heart" and a bradyarrhythmia is a "slow abnormal/irregular (heartbeat)". In many cases they will substantially overlap, and I think you will find that different writers make different levels of distinction between them, so you'll have to use surrounding context to infer ...

The mechanism is depicted in the diagram you posted, most obvious in "A":
ECG (and any voltage measurement) is based on a potential difference
You don't measure the voltage at one spot, you measure the difference between two spots. Those spots are depicted in the diagram with a (-) and (+) symbol, although the (-) is left out of BCD.
In A and D, the ...

This question violates rules; the only reason I'm answering is because it is normal.
It's got a regular rhythm with a normal rate, an axis around 30º, which is normal.
All segment durations are within normal limits, and I don't see any conduction blocks. The "Possible infarction" comment is an automated interpretation by the machine (more often than not, ...
