Applying the “Novosel formula”, Comment on: Gaetano D. Gargiulo: “True Unipolar ECG Machine for Wilson Central Terminal Measurements”

Abstract
In a publication from 2015, Gaetano D. Gargiulo (1) describe a novel device for the ECG recordings with various parameters, which were used for the sophisticated analysis of the ECG recordings – in this particular, he analyse and discuss the concept of the Wilsnon Central Terminal (2), including as a minor topic the estimation of the mean electrical axis of the heart. On page 5 of his paper (1), he refer to our earlier publication (3), which addresses the fundamental aspects of calculating the heart's mean electrical axis in the frontal plane. These aspects were independently assessed in other studies (4, 5) and further discussed in our subsequent publications (6, 7, 8). Here we intuitively assume (1) that tan-1 (as frequently used) is an arctan function, and not 1/tan as semantically defined
