The R-T segment is the portion of the EKG tracing from the R wave to the T wave.
The only EKG waves are P, Q, R, S, T, and U (abnormal). Actually, there are other waves. The "A" , "C", and "V" waves are found on the EKG during atrial filling or DIASTOLE. The "A" wave is the result of the atrial contraction and can be found in the PR interval. This "A" wave is a type of fluid volume indicator, the more the atrium fill, the higher this wave will be.
The EKG or ECG components are the P wave (contraction of the atria), the QRS complex (the contraction of the ventricles) and the T wave (repolarization of the ventricles).
With mild elevation in potassium there is a reduction in the P-wave, and a peaking of the T-wave. With severe elevation in potassium there is a widening of the QRS complex.
Okay so an EKG show the electrical impulse that travels through the heart. What I mean is EKG don't show contraction. However the QRS complex represent ventricular depolarization, which signals ventricular contraction
The P wave measures the atriums. The Q,R,S Complex measures ventricles. The T wave measures repolarization.

what causes abnormal t waves
T waves
An abnormal ECG is when the electrocardiogram shows results outside the norm. These results are usually indicative of problems in the heart, such as enlargement, higher potassium or sodium levels, damage, and inflammation.

Abnormality can be due to abnormal heart rhythms or cardiac muscle defects.
