MCL1 (Modified Chest Lead 1) is a lead that can be obtained by placing the negative electrode on the right side of the sternum and the positive electrode on the left side of the chest just below the clavicle. This lead provides a good view of atrial activity as it is close to the atrium. Other leads, such as AVF, V6, and I, may not provide as clear of a view of atrial activity.
