Heart EKG♥


My EKG Chart
An electrocardiogram (EKG) is a test that checks for problems with your electrical activity of your heart. The EKG translates the electrical activity to paper with a bunch of lines. Those lines are sometimes called waves. Each spike has a wave name! The names that they have are: P wave, P-R Interval, PQRS Complex, and the T wave. The P wave represents the atrial contraction. QRS is the Ventricular contraction, and T is the Ventricular Repolarization.
