why is conducttion velocity so high in the atrial myocardium
they are connected by gap junctions
where is conduction velocity fastest
in the bundle branches and purkinje fibers (small unmyelinated nerves)
atrial myocyte depolarization =
p wave
ventricular myocyte depolatization =
QRS complex
all electrical events upstream of ventriuclar myocytes =
PR interval
ventricular myocyte repolarization =
T wave
entire AP for ventricular myocytes =
QT interval
ventricular myocyte plateau phase =
ST segment
normal PR interval
0.12-0.2
normal QRS interval
0.03-0.12
normal QT interval
half R-R
normal ST interval
variable with HR
