The "R" is the greatest deflection from the baseline on the ECG. The R is part of the QRS complex. This complex represents ventricular depolarization in the heart.
The baseline on the EKG strip is considered to be the
Artifact is the medical term for deflection on the EKG not originating the in heart.
wandering baseline
The medical term for deflection on an EKG tracing caused by electrical activity other than from the heart is "artifact." This can be due to various external factors interfering with the EKG signal, such as patient movement, improper electrode placement, or electrical interference. It is important to recognize and address artifacts to obtain an accurate EKG interpretation.
wandering baseline
The P wave represents atrial depolarization (they contract). In a normal EKG, the P-wave precedes the QRS complex. It looks like a small bump upwards from the baseline.
If the maximum bending moment occurs at a point, then the corresponding deflection will also be maximum at that point. This is because the deflection of a beam is directly influenced by the bending moment acting on it. So, wherever the bending moment is greatest, the deflection will also be greatest.
The straight line on an EKG is called the isoelectric line. It represents the baseline electrical activity of the heart when there is no depolarization or repolarization occurring. Deviations from this line indicate electrical activity associated with heartbeats, such as P waves, QRS complexes, and T waves.

EKG stands for electrocardiogram.
The deflection of wind due to the Coriolis effect is strongest at the poles and decreases towards the equator. This is because the Coriolis effect is most pronounced at higher latitudes where the rotational speed of the Earth is greatest.
Yes, a V wave will be seen on a normal EKG tracing. A V wave can signal a lot of things in an EKG, but what it means will be up to the person reading the EKG and the person's reason for the EKG.
