Best Answer

It represents the repolorization of the ventricles. The ventricles must reset electrically after contracting.

In a normal Sinus Rhythm the p wave comes first. Then the QRS complex which is the largest part of the heartbeat will come less than .2 seconds later. The QRS complex usually lasts less than .12 seconds. The final bump is (usually) the T wave.

What does a segment of an ECG tracing indicate?

P waves represent the atrial depolarization. QRS complex represent the ventricular depolarization. T waves represent the ventricular repolarization.


What do the letters PQRST represent?

P, Q, R, S and T each represent a wave of the electrocardiogram (ECG). The waves, and the ECG in general, confer a graphic representation of the hearth's electric activity. The ECG of a healthy person usually contains three waves, called the P wave, the QRS complex and the T wave. The P wave corresponds to the electric depolarization of the auricles, the QRS complex corresponds to the electric depolarization of the ventricles and the repolarization of the auricles, and the T wave corresponds to the electric repolarization of the ventricles. A complete period of an ECG (that is, the P, QRS, and T waves) represents the electrical activity of the heart for one pulse.


Why is the T wave positive in the ECG?

The T wave is positive in an ECG due to the direction and charge. This positive deflection occurs after each QRS complex.

What portion of the ECG indicates ventricular repolarization?

The portion of the ECG that indicates ventricular repolarization or recovery is the t wave. It is the wave found after the QRS complex (Ventricular depolarizaton) in a normal ECG
