English term or phrase: ...aVL...
A bit more obvious are the reciprocal changes in leads I and aVL.

Explanation:
Here are a couple references which explain what these are:

Limb leads
aVR = RA - (LL + LA)(left leg, left arm)
aVL = LA - (LL + RA) (left leg, right arm)
aVF = LL - (RA + LA)(right arm, left leg)

Like the 3 leads previously discussed, these 3 unipolar leads also view the heart's electrical activity on the frontal surface of heart. Lead aVR views the heart's normal wave of electrical activity as it travels away from the positive electrode. These wave forms appear negative. Lead aVL views across the anterior surface of the left ventricle, where the electrical activity travels first toward the positive electrode then away from it as it moves toward the inferior surface (of the left ventricle). This is what causes a biphasic (first positive, then negative) QRS complex in the aVL. Lead aVF views the wave of electrical activity that travels toward the postive electrode and is seen as a positive deflection on the monitor.

Las derivaciones clásicas : bipolares (DI , DII , DIII) y monopolares (aVR , aVL , aVF ) de las extremidades , representan proyecciones elétricas en el plano frontal , y las derivaciones monopolares precordiales ( V1.... V6 ) representan proyecciones eléctricas en el plano horizontal.

Both of these pages give thorough information that might help you with the rest of your translation.

derivaciones [cardiacas] I y aVL


Explanation:
Ejemplo de uso: "Las "ondas Q" en las derivaciones Iy aVL suguiere un gran infarto lateral". "El segmento ST también está elevado en las derivaciones
Iy aVL, indicando compromiso de pared lateral alta."
