Question:

Define each wave of the electrocardiogram & relate each of them to contractions of the heart... :)?

Help... :)


Answers:

To simply put, here is the gist:

P wave - initial condition from SA node to the atrium, results in contraction of both atriums

QRS waves - conduction move past AV node into Bundle of His and results in contraction of Ventricles on both sides

T wave - recovery of the heart and relaxation of heart muscle
