Abstract
Changes in the vectorcardiogram (VCG) during respiration are well known. An extensive series of experiments on normal subjects has shown that the rotation of the intrinsic components of the VCG relative to the torso is a consistent indicator of the change of the volume of air in the lungs. This has lead to a model for the mechanics of the heart-lungs-respired volume system and to a technique for monitoring respiration rate and depth from the VCG.
