ECG Flashcards
atrial muscle depolarization
P wave
Ventricular muscle depolarization
QRS
first negative deflection that precedes the first positive deflection
Q wave
First positive deflection
R wave
The negative deflection that follows the positive deflection
S wave
Ventricular muscle repolarization
T wave
(atrial muscle repolarization) occurs ar approximately the time of the QRS and is masked by the QRS
Tp wave
Represents the time from the beginning of atrial muscle depolarization to the beginning of ventricular muscle depolarization
PR interval
What is the normal range of the PR interval?
0.12 - 0.20s (0.16s)
Represents the total time of ventricular muscle depolarization
QRS interval
What is the normal range of the QRS interval?
0.06 - 0.10s (0.08s)
Represents the total time of all ventricular muscle electrical activity
QT interval
What is the normal range of the QT interval?
0.36 - 0.43s (0.40s)
The elapsed time between 2 QRS complexes
RR interval
What is the formula to calculate HR from RR interval?
1/RR x 60 = bpm
