Image:
Ecg (binary/octet-stream)
|
Atrial systole |
|
What happens during the QRS complex?
Image:
Ecg (binary/octet-stream)
|
Ventricular systole |
|
What happens at the T wave?
Image:
Ecg (binary/octet-stream)
|
Ventricular diastole |
|
What happens between points P and R?
Image:
Ecg (binary/octet-stream)
|
Time taken for the electrical impulses to travel from the atria to the ventricles |
|
What happens between points Q and T?
Image:
Ecg (binary/octet-stream)
|
This is the contraction time of the ventricles |
