half a response here but is it a lead? sm
Subject: half a response here but is it a lead? sm

This sounds more like statistical analysis to me than actual cardiac-related terminology.

I'd start by looking into E x U' or something.

I did stat analysis coursework in college, and the word prime is often represented by an apostrophe. Because there could be data represented by U, and then U' is some derivation of that data. If my fuzzy memory serves me properly, anyway!

I may be WAAAAAY off base here, but that's the first thing I see in this. I hope it helps a little.
