rhythm and intervals
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Represents the amount of time that elapses between cycles of ventricular depolarization. This interval to determine the pattern of regularity of the ventricles. | R-R wave interval, |
| Represents one complete ventricular cycle | QT interval |
| Represents one complete atrial cycle, A direct reflection of AV node conduction. | PR interval |
| Represents the amount of time that elapses between cycles of atrial depolarization. | P-P wave interval |
| Signifies the distance the electrical impulse travels from the start of atrial depolarization to the start of ventricular depolarization. | Prolonged PR interval |
| Results in short measurement. | Decreased QT interval |
| Signifies depolarization of the ventricles | QRS interval |
| Represents the beginning of ventricular depolarization to the end of ventricular repolarization being too long | Prolonged QT interval |
