On an ECG, p, q, r, s and t refer to the different spikes on the reading. P represents the depolarisation of the atria of the heart. Q, R and S represent the depolarisation of the ventricles. T represents the repolarisation of the ventricles.

∙ 10y agoPQRST in an EKG (or ECG) is the pattern made by the activity of the heart as it contracts. This activity is under the "direction" of a system of nerves. Any abnormality in the pattern can help to pin point a problem.
See the link below so you can see the contractions of the chambers and the red nerves "firing":

What does pqrst represent?
pqrst is a highly popular puzzle competition conducted quarterly but the last event was way back on november,2005.
If pqrst is a parallelogram what it the ratio of triangle pqs and parallelogram pqrst?
A parallelogram has 4 vertices, so clearly PQRST is a parallelogram with an additional vertex defined somewhere on its perimeter. However, there is no information on how or what has been done in the question and, as a result, the question cannot be answered.
Why is the word PQRST put into an EKG tracing?
PQRST is not a word. Each is the initial of a wave form that the heart's electricity can create. Doctors evaluate the PQRST waves on an EKG (electrocardiogram) to determine if the electrical conduction is within normal limits, or if there is heart disease. Please see Related links.
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 does the acronym pqrst stand for?
The acronym PQRST may refer to several things. One of the most common uses of PQRST is to refer to a method of studying: Preview, Question, Read, Summary, and Test. It is also a common way to assess pain, which each letter standing for Provokes, Quality, Radiates, Severity, and Time.

What is the full form of ecg scan?
ECG stands for ElectroCardioGram
Who was the person who assigned PQRST?
The PQRST method is a technique used in healthcare to assess symptoms and stands for Provocation/Palliation, Quality, Region/Radiation, Severity, and Timing. It was not assigned by one specific person, but is commonly used in healthcare settings to help understand and document a patient's symptoms.
When does a person suffers from ECG?
Never. An ECG is a test, not an illness or disease.
