Electrocardiograms Waves
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| P wave | represents atrial depolarization (contraction) |
| QRS complex | represents ventricular depolarization and atrial replarization |
| T wave | represents ventricular repolarization |
| Q wave | represents conduction of impulse down the interventricular septum |
| U wave | represents repolarization of bundle of HIS and purkinje fibers |
| PR interval | begining of P wave to begining of QRS (.12-.2 secs)--- increase indicates 1st degree heart block |
| PR segment | end of P to beginning of QRS |
| QRS interval | same as QRS complex it is .1 sec or less an increase indicates bundle branch block |
| ST segment | end of S to beginning of T |
