The best way to remember heaps of information is by association. This is a collection of stories/mnemonics/pictures created by medics to help remember majorly boring stuff.

ECG interpretation with one glance
Often I find someone hands you an ecg print out, points to one lead and says "...obviously the defect is antero-lateral to the septal portion of the apex" (or something similar). So here's a neat picture based way to remember which lead covers which area.
All ECG's are presented in this format:
and I like to superimpose the following picutres:
So Lead I, aVL, V5 and V6 are lateral (picture of Caffe Latte), Lead II, III and aVF are inferior (Info sign), chest leads V1 and V2 are septal (7 in french, sept), chest lead V3 + V4 are anterior (Ant). Don't worry about aVR - I don't think anyone ever does. So just like in the kids game, all you have to do is remember where each of the pictures are.
