Is augmented the lines between which leads form Einthoven's triangle?

Yes, augmented leads are derived from Einthoven's triangle but provide a different perspective. In standard ECG leads, Einthoven's triangle is formed by the limb leads I, II, and III. The augmented leads (aVR, aVL, aVF) are created by using the average of two of the limb electrodes as a reference point, allowing for additional views of the heart's electrical activity. This enhances the diagnostic capability of the ECG by providing a more comprehensive assessment of the heart's function.
