Question	Answer
rhythm strip	electrocardiogram printout
electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG)	the graphic recording of the heart’s electrical activity. It may be displayed either on paper or on an oscilloscope
artifact	deflection on the EKG produced by factors other than the heart’s electrical activity.
bipolar limb leads	EKG leads applied to the arms and legs that contain two electrodes of opposing polarity; leads I, II, & III
Einthoven’s triangle	the triangle around the heart formed by the bipolar limb leadt
augmented limb leads	another term for unipolar limb leads, reflecting the fact that the gound lead is disconnected, which increased the amplitude of deflection of the EKG tracing
unipolar limb leads	EKG leads applied to the arms and legs, consisting of one polarized (+) electrode and a nonpolarized reference point that is created by the EKG machine combinging two additional electrodes; also called augmented limb leads; leads aVR, aVL, and aVF.
precordial (chest) leads	EKG leads applied to the chest in a pattern that permits a view of the horizontal plane of the heart; leads V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6
P wave	first component of the EKG; corresponds to atrial depolarization. On lead II, it’s a positive, rounded wave before the QRS complex
QRS complex	reflects ventricular depolarization. Q wave is the first negative deflection after the P wave; the R wave is the first positive deflection after the P wave; the S wave is the first negative deflection after the R wave
