The shape of the waveform as well as the time intervals are both important when analyzing an ECG. In essence, you are looking at what the heart is doing and how fast it is doing it. Besides the "QRS" complex, which is ventricular contractions, you normally do not need to worry about the time interval of the waveforms. What's more important is the time interval between waveforms.

By looking at the time interval between heartbeats, you can determine how fast the heart is beating. Also, the distance between certain waveforms may mean that the electrical conductivity is being slowed down or even blocked.

Keep in mind that there are multiple factors to take into account when interpreting an ECG.

Frequency: Frequency is also equal to the wavelength divided by the velocity and is designated as the number of cycles (or peaks) per second. Amplitude: Amplitude is the absolute value of the magnitude of the displacement of a wave from a mean value and is designated as mV

What are the different signal waveforms?

The three basic waveforms are Sine, Triangle and Square waves. For transmitting, the only one that matters is the Sine wave because it has no harmonics of its own. A "harmonic" is an unwanted emanation running at an exact multiple of the frequency you're trying to use.


Why sinusoidal alternating current is chosen for electricity why not square or triangle etc?

Because this is the shape of the waveform naturally generated by a conductor that is cut by a rotating magnetic field. It would be extremely difficult, as well as unnecessary, to generate any other shaped waveforms. You should also understand that square and triangular waveforms are normally made up of sinusoidal waveforms of different amplitudes and frequencies (check out 'Fourier analysis').


What happens when magnitude of Vcc and Vee of op-amp are different?

Can you explain how to interpret a 12-lead ECG?

Interpreting a 12-lead ECG involves analyzing the electrical activity of the heart from different angles. Each lead provides information on a specific area of the heart, helping to identify abnormalities such as arrhythmias, ischemia, or infarction. By examining the waveforms, intervals, and segments in each lead, healthcare professionals can diagnose and monitor various heart conditions.
