P wave represents
atrium depolarization
QRS complex represents
ventricular depolarization
where can we find atrial repolarization?
hidden inside the QRS complex
T wave represents
ventricular repolarization
duration of PQ (or PR) interval?
0.12-0.2 sec
duration of QRS complex?
0.06-0.1 sec
duration of P wave?
0.12 sec
amplitude of ST?
0.1-0.2 mV
amplitude of R and T waves in lead II
R > 5 mm
T < 5 mm
what do ECG measures?
how?
measure changes in potential (cardiac myocytes)
uses surface electrodes
Einthoven detects Bipolar/Unipolar?
Bipolar electrodes
what is the Einthoven rule?
potential difference in lead II is the sum of potential difference in I+III
lead II is btw
RA (–) to LL (++)
