What would you see on the Electrocardiogram if the SA node did not fire?
An electrocardiogram would show reduced heart rate as other parts of the heart cause potentials at low rates. Also there would be no P wave.
What waves are found on an electrocardiogram?
There are no waves in an electrocardiogram. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is performed by putting electrodes on the body and measuring heart activity directly.
How is sodium chloride used during a electrocardiogram?
Sodium chloride is not used during electrocardiogram.
What is required for the interpretation of the electrocardiogram?
