Study Notes
EKG and ECG Terminology
-
QRS Complex: Represents the EKG reading of ventricular depolarization, indicating the electrical activity that triggers ventricular contraction.
-
T Wave: Reflects the ECG reading of ventricular repolarization, representing the recovery stage of the ventricles after contraction.
-
Atrial Repolarization: Refers to the hidden ECG reading, as its activity is typically obscured by the larger QRS complex on the electrocardiogram.
Blood Pressure Readings
-
Systole: Indicates the blood pressure reading during ventricular contraction when the heart pumps blood into the arteries.
-
Diastole: Represents the blood pressure reading during ventricular relaxation, highlighting the phase when the heart fills with blood in preparation for the next contraction.
Atrial Activity
- P Wave: Represents the EKG reading of atrial depolarization, showing the electrical impulse initiating atrial contraction.
