What wave represents ventricular repolarization?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the specific wave in an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) that corresponds to the process of ventricular repolarization, which is an essential concept in cardiology.
Answer
T wave
The T wave on an electrocardiogram represents ventricular repolarization.
Answer for screen readers
The T wave on an electrocardiogram represents ventricular repolarization.
More Information
Changes in T wave morphology can indicate various benign or pathologic conditions affecting the myocardium.
Tips
A common mistake is to confuse the T wave with the QRS complex, which represents ventricular depolarization.
