| red oxide of lead | A bright orange-red powder that turns black when heated; used in ointments and plasters. Synonym: red lead, red oxide of lead. (05 Mar 2000) |
| CB lead | A bipolar chest lead with the negative electrode placed upon the subject's back. (05 Mar 2000) |
| V lead | A unipolar lead with the central terminal as the indifferent electrode; V is the symbol for unipolar (Latin "U"). (05 Mar 2000) |
| CF lead | A bipolar chest lead with the negative electrode placed on the subject's left leg. (05 Mar 2000) |
| CL lead | A bipolar chest lead with the negative electrode placed on the subject's left arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| white lead | A heavy white powder that is insoluble in water; occasionally, it is used to relieve irritation in dermatitis, but it is used largely in the manufacture of paint and in the arts and is thus productive of lead poisoning. Synonym: ceruse, white lead. (05 Mar 2000) |
| CR lead | A bipolar chest lead with the negative electrode placed on the subject's right arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| standard limb lead | One of the three original bipolar limb lead's of the clinical electrocardiogram, designated I, II and III: lead I records the potential difference between the right and left arms; lead II the difference between right arm and left leg; and lead III the difference between left arm and left leg. Synonym: indirect lead. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sugar of lead | Has been used as an astringent in diarrhoea, and in aqueous solution as a wet dressing in certain dermatoses. Synonym: sugar of lead. (05 Mar 2000) |
| de-lead | To cause the mobilization and excretion of lead deposited in the bones and other tissues, as by the administration of a chelating agent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| direct lead | In electrocardiography, a unipolar lead recorded with the exploring electrode placed directly on the surface of the exposed heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| indirect lead | One of the three original bipolar limb lead's of the clinical electrocardiogram, designated I, II and III: lead I records the potential difference between the right and left arms; lead II the difference between right arm and left leg; and lead III the difference between left arm and left leg. Synonym: indirect lead. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intracardiac lead | The record obtained when the exploring electrode is placed within one of the heart's chambers, usually by means of cardiac catheterization. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oesophageal lead | An electrocardiographic lead passed down the throat into the oesophagus to record the electrocardiogram at various levels of the oesophagus; especially useful for certain types of arrhythmias. Similarly, a transducer for echocardiography can be passed into the oesophagus. (05 Mar 2000) |
