Carnegie ECG
the normal cardiac conduction cycle
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| isoelectric line before P wave equals | SA node firing |
| P wave equals | atrial depolarization |
| PR segment equals | av node delay, His, BBs, PFs |
| QRS complex equals | ventricular depolarization, muscle cells depolarize |
| ST segment equals | ventricular repolarization |
| T wave equals | ventricular repolarization |
| isoelectric line after T wave equals | resting phase; relaxation, filling |
| what papers speed is used when running an ECG? | 25 millimeters per second |
| 1 millimeter on the ECG paper equals how much time? | . 04 seconds |
| 1 millimeter equals how much voltage? | . 1 millivolts |
| 10 millimeters equals how many millivolts? | 1mv |
| one big box equals | .20 seconds |
| lower case letters represent | less than 5 boxes |
| uppercase letters represent | 5 boxes or more |
| The Q wave is the | first negative |
| the R wave is the | first positive |
| The S wave is the | first negative after first positive |
| the QRS complex duration is | less than. 10 seconds |
| A normal PR interval is | .12-. 20 seconds |
| the PR interval is made up of | the P wave and the PR segment |
| which wave represents atrial depolarization? | The P wave |
| which wave represents ventricular depolarization? | The QRS complex |
| which wave represents ventricular repolarization? | T waves |
