- Tick marks on ECG paper rhythm strip represent 3 secs.
- P-R interval represents the propagation of cardiac action potential from atria through AV node to ventricles.
- S-T segment represents the interval between ventricular depolarization and repolarization.
- V1, V2, V3, V4, and V5 are leads used to observe different areas of the heart.
- V1 and V2 primarily observe the ventricular septum.
- V5, V6, lead I, and lead aVL observe the lateral wall of the heart.
