Question

The deflection waves in an ECG tracing include:

Question 2 options:
A)the Q-T interval, which indicates the time of atrial contraction.
B)the PQRS complex, which follows ventricular contraction.
C)the P wave, which is present only in patients who have had a heart attack.
D)the T wave, which indicates ventricular repolarization.

Answer 1

The deflection waves in an ECG tracing include the P wave, the QRS complex, and the T wave.

Step-by-step explanation:

The deflection waves in an ECG tracing include:

1. The P wave: represents the depolarization of the atria.
2. The QRS complex: represents the depolarization of the ventricles.
3. The T wave: represents the repolarization of the ventricles.

These three waves provide important information about the electrical activity of the heart and can help identify cardiac conditions.
