KAISER EKG EXAM
REVISION STUDY MATERIAL
,1. Depolarization: Electrical excitation of cell membrane followed
by mechanical contraction
2. Repolarization: Return of cell membrane resting state
3. PR interval: .12-.20sec
4. PR interval is measured fro beginning of to beginning
to ?: Begin- ning of P wave to beginning of QRS wave
5. QRS complex: .06-.12sec
6. First negative deflection after P wave R wave?: Q wave
7. Negative deflection following R wave?: S wave
8. Marks QRS complex and ends ST segment?: J point
9. QT interval: .44-.48sec
10. No perceived electrical current?: Isoelectric line
11. Atrial depolorization?: P wave
12. Delay at AV junction?: PR segment
13. Ventricular depolorization?: QRS
14. Normally isoelectronic line between QRS and beginning
of T-wave?: ST Segment
15. ventricular repolarization?: T wave
,16. What does T wave look like?: Larger than P wave and
slightly asymmetric
17. beginning of ventricular activation through ventricular
depolarization?: QT
interval
18. If U wave is seen what does that mean?: Hypokalemia or
digitalis toxicity
