V2 placement is on which side of the sternum?

Explanation:
V2 is placed in the 4th intercostal space just to the left of the sternum. This position, opposite V1 (which sits to the right of the sternum), provides the view of the heart from the left anterior chest and helps assess the septal and anterior regions. Placing V2 on the right side or at the midline would not give the standard left‑sided anterior/septal view, and the left infraclavicular region is farther up and lateral than the V2 location.
