Question

Which parts of The Action Potential Are Represented On The ECG?

Answer 1

The phases of the cardiac action potential correspond to the surface ECG (ECG) (Figure). The P wave reflects atrial depolarization (phase 0), the PR interval reflects the conduction velocity through the AV node, the QRS complex the ventricular depolarization and QT interval the duration potential ventricular action.

Answer 2

Which parts of The Action Potential Are Represented On The ECG?

• The QRS complex of the electrocardiogram corresponds to the action potential depolarization, while the T wave is associated with ventricular repolarization. Torsades de pointes is associated with the twisting of the QRS complex around the isoelectric line on the electrocardiogram.
