  …originated from SA node and comes down to the apex of heart. so for example lead II is looking at the heart from below so it shows this activity as a positive deflection (check lead 2 of your ECGs, they are mostly positive). but lead aVR is kind of looking at the heart from above and so it shows this activity as a negative deflection (check lead aVR of your ECGs, they are mostly neagative). watch this video: ▶ link

If you wanna do it all in one day, prolly take an hour or two. But spaced-repetition is more effective than learning it at once. Check this out: ▶ link ▶ link
