Key result
The Cabrera sequence displays limb leads in an anatomically contiguous manner, facilitating more rapid, easy, and accurate ECG interpretation for the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome.
Why the study?
Does the Cabrera sequence improve the accuracy and ease of ECG interpretation compared to the traditional limb leads display in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome?

The Cabrera sequence offers a clinically advantageous alternative to the traditional limb leads display by improving the anatomical understanding and diagnostic accuracy of ECGs in acute coronary syndrome.
May support Cabrera sequence for contiguous ECG leads in ACS; leaves open prospective validation of diagnostic accuracy.
The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is the important, initial examination for diagnosing acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In the traditional 12-lead ECG display, the precordial leads are displayed in their anatomically contiguous order, which makes it easy to understand the positional relationships between the precordial leads and the heart, but the limb leads are not. The "Cabrera sequence" displays the limb leads in an anatomically contiguous manner, which facilitates understanding of the positional relations between the limb leads and the heart, resulting in more rapid, easy, and accurate ECG interpretation than the traditional limb leads display. This review explores the clinical advantages of the Cabrera sequence as compared with the traditional limb leads display for the diagnosis of ACS. (Circ J 2016; 80: 1087-1096).

Kosuge et al. (2016) conducted a review in Acute Coronary Syndrome. Cabrera sequence ECG display vs. Traditional limb leads display was evaluated. The Cabrera sequence displays limb leads in an anatomically contiguous manner, facilitating more rapid, easy, and accurate ECG interpretation for the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome.
