Answers:
P waves change in abnormalities of the atria!. Enlargement of each atrium has a specific pattern on EKG!. QRS and T wave changes in ventricular disease!. Changes in PQRST can also occur due to electrical changes in the heart due to changes in levels of electrolytes (Potassium, Calcium) in blood!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes, depending on the condtion, the wave will look different!. An ECG book can be bought at the nursing section of most book stores!. There are also photos on line of abnormal ECGs and what each wave means!. However, I am not sure that ALL heart condtions can be spoted on an EKG!. That is something I honestly don't know!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
EKG identifies damaged heart muscles by measuring the hearts electrical activity it produces, so its quite possible, yesWww@Answer-Health@Com
