What does the vertical axis of the EKG paper measure?

The vertical axis of the EKG paper measures the amplitude or voltage of the electrical signals generated by the heart. This is typically expressed in millivolts (mV), with each small square representing 0.1 mV. The height of the deflections in the EKG waveform indicates the strength of the electrical activity occurring during each heartbeat.
