The main line to read on an ECG is the "QRS complex," which represents the ventricular depolarization. This is the most informative part in determining heart rate, rhythm, and conduction abnormalities.
The horizontal part of a tracing on an ECG is called the baseline. It represents the period when the heart is not actively depolarizing or repolarizing, showing the electrical activity at rest.
The next wave after the T wave in an ECG is the P wave, which represents atrial depolarization.
The amplitude of an ECG wave is typically measured in millimeters (mm) on the vertical axis of the ECG graph. It represents the voltage or electrical activity of the heart muscle during each phase of the cardiac cycle.
When the ECG is running at normal speed, the paper is moving at 25 mm/sec.
A vector on an ECG represents the direction and magnitude of electrical activity within the heart at a specific moment. It is used to visualize the overall electrical activity of the heart, helping to identify abnormalities in rhythm or conduction. By analyzing the vectors on an ECG, healthcare providers can assess the health and function of the heart.
An isoelectric line on the electrocardiograph is the base line on an electrocardiogram.
yes
isoelectric lines!
then there dead
The QRS complex on an ECG represents ventricular depolarisation. This wave should have the greatest amplitude.
its a flat horizontal line separator....

Polarization in an electrocardiogram (ECG) refers to the resting state of the heart's electrical activity, when no electrical impulses are being generated. This is represented by the flat line (isoelectric line) between heartbeats on the ECG tracing.
It stands for "electrocardiogram", a basic read-out of the function of the heart muscle.
A loose or disconnected wire.
A flat section of line indicates no muscular activity in the heart at that particular instant; a constantly flat line indicates heart failure.
