Einthoven's limb leads measured the potential difference between two electrodes, making them bipolar leads. Dipolar refers to a lead with two poles or electrodes, but it is not the correct term for Einthoven's limb leads. Standard and reflective are not commonly used terms for describing leads in electrocardiography.
