Q

the voltage of the QRS complex is usually?

A

1.0 to 1.5

17
Q

The time between the beginning of the P wave and the beginning of the QRS complex is the interval between the beginning of electrical excitation of the atria and the beginning of excitation of the ventricles. This period is called?

A

P-Q interval

18
Q

The normal P-Q interval

A

0.16 second

19
Q

Interval that often because the Q wave is likely to be absent

A

P-R interval

20
Q

Contraction of the ventricle lasts almost from the beginning of the Q wave (or R wave, if the Q wave is absent) to the end of the T wave. This interval is called?

A

Q-T interval

21
Q

The ordinarily Q-T interval is about?

A

0.35 second

22
Q

The normal interval between two successive QRS complexes in the adult person is about?

A

0.83 second

23
Q

The rate of heartbeat can be determined easily from an?

A

electrocardiogram

24
Q

electrical currents generated by the?

A

cardiac muscle

25
Q

electrical connections between the patient’s limbs and the electrocardiograph for recording electrocardiograms from the so called?

A

standard bipolar limb leads

26
Q

means that the electrocardiogram is recorded from two electrodes located on different sides of the heart

A

bipolar

27
Q

is not a single wire connecting from the body but a combination of two wires connecting and their electrodes to make a complete circuit between the body and the electrocardiograph

A

lead

28
Q

the triangle that drawn around the area of the heart. Illustrates that the two arms and the left leg form apices of a triangle surrounding the heart

A

Einthoven’s triangle

29
Q

states that if the electrical potentials of any tro of the three bipolar limb electrocardiographic leads are known at any given instant

A

Einthoven’s law

30
Q

This electrode is connected to the positive terminal of the electrocardiograph and the negative electrode called the?

A

indifferent electrode

31
Q

it is connected through equal electrical resistances to the right arm, left arm and left leg all the same time

A

indifferent electrode

32
Q

Six standard chest leads are recorded, one at a time, from the anterior chest wall, the chest electrode being placed sequentially at the six points. The different recordings are known as?

A

leads V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6

33
Q

what leads that the QRS recordings of the normal heart mainly negative?

A

V1 and V2

34
Q

leads of QRS complexes that are mainly positive because the chest electrode in these leads is nearer the heart apex, which is the direction of electropositivity during most of depolarization

A

Leads V4, V5, V6

35
Q

type of recording, that the two of the limbs are connected through the electrical resistances to the negative terminal of the electrocardiograph, and the third limb is connected to the positive terminal

A

Augmented Unipolar Limb Leads

36
Q

When the positive terminal is on the right arm, the lead is known as?

A

aVR lead

37
Q

When the positive terminal is on the left arm, the lead is known as the?

A

aVL lead

38
Q

When the positive terminal is on the left leg, the lead is known as the?

A

aVF lead
