What ecg curves represent recovery of the ventricles?
t wave
What does the ecg wave tracing represent?
Electrical Activity of the Heart
The portion of the ECG that corresponds to atrial depolarization is the?
The portion of the ECG that corresponds to atrial depolarization is called the P wave. The P wave is the first wave on the ECG.
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.
What is the ECG wave that results from the depolarization of the ventricle?
the P wave
What would be a patients ecg show with Hypocalcemia?
The ECG of a patient with hypocalcemia will show q number of different distinct patterns. The ECG will show a T wave that is inverted and flattened, a prolongation of the QT interval, a narrowing of the QRS complex, a prolonged ST and ST depression, a reduction in the PR interval, and a prominent U wave.
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
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 contraction of the atria results from which wave of depolarization on the ECG tracing?
P wave
What is QRS in ECG?
The QRS complex on an ECG represents ventricular depolarisation. This wave should have the greatest amplitude.
If you have an ECG conducted what causes the P wave?
oops
