English translation:Limb gain:
Explanation:
Cuando aparece la referencia a miembros y precordiales en un ECG, seguido de las unidades mm/mV, se hace referencia a calibración / gain en inglés, en referencia a la representación vertical del voltaje, diferenciando en este caso la representación vertical de las derivaciones precordiales de las de los miembros. En inglés se haría referencia de manera equivalente a limb gain versus chest gain. Por ejemplo,


Voltage is represented vertically in the cardiac tracing. Standard calibration or gain is set at 10 mm/mV.

Sure, Penelope; limb leads (derivaciones de miembros, en referencia a las derivaciones I, II, III, AVR, AVL y AVF en un ECG -versus las derivaciones precordiales -chest leads-, v1-6) is quite common in ECG readings. Just an example of many;

Proximal LAD occlusions may also cause ST- elevations in the high lateral limb leads (I and aVL), signifying occlusion of the LAD before the first diagonal 
https://books.google.es/books?id=bFNZDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA88&lpg=PA...

But this has just little to do with limb (leads) gain or calibration; one thing is to refer to what the heart waves look like in the limb leads (as in the previous example) and a different one is to specify how those waves in the limb leads are calibrated in a particular ECG strip -which is what "Miemb: 10 mm/mV" necessarily refers to.

This answer is partly correct. I believe the answer is Limb Leads. I found this in interpretations of ECG results, and sorry, I did not keep the link.

neutral  Chema Nieto Castañón: "normal calibration ( 10 mm/mV) in the limb and augmented leads with half-standard calibration in the precordial leads (5 mm/mV)". Either calibration of limb leads or limb gain but not just "limbs". Your other refs (limb leads/electrodes) are misleading.

  -> En un electrocardiógrafo tienes dos calibraciones básicas, en tiempo y en voltaje. A la calibración en voltaje (gain) es a lo que se refiere mm/mV, en este caso diferenciando limb gain de chest gain. Limbs, sin otro especificador, resultaría muy extraño.

agree  Ella Rich: Another similar source supporting "limb gain": "With normal gain (calibration) 10 mm on the vertical axis corresponds to 1 mV. Thus, 1 mm corresponds to 0.1 mV." https://ecgwaves.com/topic/ekg-ecg-leads-electrodes-systems-...
