Spanish term

C6-BAV

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Cardiology Pacemaker implantation
The following appears in a medical report following pacemaker implantation:
INDICACIÓN
Indicación: C6-BAV de 3er grado con QRS estrecho.

It appears to be referring to a 3rd degree AV block, but I have no idea what the "C6" indicates.

Can anyone help?

Cheers,
John

atrioventricular blockage in C6

C6 is one of the ECG leads. (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6). There are others. C1 to C6 are chest or precordial leads or derivations. There are also V1, V2, etc. I give you some online references hereunder.
