P Wave : atrial depolarisation before atrial contract on

QRS complex : ventricular depolarisation before ventricular contract on
atrial repolarization occurs Within QRS

T wave : ventricvlar repolarization after ventricular contract on
pro long ed Wave with less voltage than QRS



PQIPR intervall : time between ex citation of atria and ventricles

0,16 sec beginning Of P Until beginning of QIR
potential remains in AV node for 0,08 sec
↳ all OWS atrial con traction before ventricular con traction



QT Intervall : ventricular contract on

0,35 sec beginning of QIR until end Of T



no potential during complete polarisation and depolarization
↳ current flows only in partia lly ( de ) paar ited ventricles



rate of heartbeat =
reciprocal of time Intervall between two beats

I see on ECGE 60 bpm

flow of current around the heart during cardiac cycle




* partially depolarized cardiacsynctium
* current flows from negative to positive



* depolarisation spread s in all directions through the heart

↳ potential difference Pers ist for only a few thou sands of a second
↳ actual voltage can only be measure d by a high speed recorder -




flow in the chest around the hear t




* the heart is svspended in a conductiue medium
↳ Ivngs and fluids around hear t conduct electricity

* electrical current flows from depolarit.ec/areatopoIaritEdarea
↳ in circuits




* cardiac impulse → ventricular septum → inside sur faces of ventricles



electro negative inner ventricular Parts
electrical current flows through

Electro positive Outer ventricular parts fluids surround ing the ventric als



* elliptisch lines :
average of all lines of current Flow

negative towards base of heart

Positive towards apex of heart } Positive ECG



* current back flow after complete d depolarisation
l) from apex to base
↳ because Outer ventricular wat Is are depolarized last
