Cardiac Cycle Graphs Flashcards
1
Q
What is the P wave?
A
The P wave represents the depolarisation of the left and right atrium and also corresponds to atrial contraction
2
Q
What is the QRS complex?
A
The QRS complex represents the electrical impulse as it spreads through the ventricles and indicates ventricular depolarisation
3
Q
What is the T wave?
A
T wave follows the QRS complex and indicates ventricular repolarisation
