Term
Which direction does septal depolarization occur?
Definition
Septal depolarization occurs from left to right and also slightly downward
Term
Which direction does atrial depolarization occur?
Definition
Atrial depolarization occurs from right to left and downward. This results in a positive deflection in Lead I and Lead aVF.
Term
What does the T wave represent?
Definition
Ventrical Repolarization after contraction.
Term
Ventricle repolarization occurs in which direction with respect to the Epicardium and Endocardium?
Definition
Repolarization occurs from Outside In, or from the Epicardium to Endocardium.
Term
What is the PR Interval and how long does it last?
Definition
PR Interval represents the time for depolarization to travel from the SA node through the AV node and into the His-Perkinje network. Typically it lasts for 0.12 - 0.2 seconds.
Term
What does the QRS interval represent and how long does it last?
Definition
Represents the total time of ventricular contraction which lasts for 0.08 - 0.12 seconds.
