PAPER 2026 COMPLETE SOLUTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
⩥ Cardiac Cycle. Answer: Complete sequence of heart contraction and
relaxation.
⩥ Patient Chart. Answer: Record containing patient's medical history
and tests.
⩥ Consulting Physician. Answer: Doctor reviewing and interpreting
ECG results.
⩥ Automaticity. Answer: Ability of the cardiac cell to initiate an impulse
⩥ Excitability. Answer: Ability of the cardiac cell to respond to an
impulse
⩥ Conductivity. Answer: Ability of the cardiac cell to conduct/transmit
an impulse
, ⩥ Contractility. Answer: Ability of the cardiac cell to contract/pump in
response to an electrical impulse
⩥ P Wave. Answer: Atrial contraction (atrial depolarization)
⩥ PR Interval. Answer: Period of time from the beginning of atrial
depolarization to the beginning of ventricular depolarization
⩥ QRS Complex. Answer: Ventricular contraction (Ventricular
depolarization)
⩥ T Wave. Answer: Ventricular repolarization (relaxation of the
ventricular muscle)
⩥ P - Pulmonale. Answer: Tall peaked; Right atrial enlargement
secondary to pulmonary HTN (COPD)
⩥ P- Mitrale. Answer: Broad notched; Left atrial enlargement secondary
to mitral valve disease
⩥ Wolfe - Parkinson-White Syndrome. Answer: Conduction defect
where the electrical impulse from the SA node depolarizes the ventricles
via the Bundle of Kent and the AV node
