EKG paper is a grid where time is measured along the horizontal axis, of EKG graph paper and where to measure the components of the EKG wave form.
The horizontal axis is time. The vertical axis is a measure of something electrical (the wires are connected to electrical contacts on your chest).

An EKG
An abbreviation for ElectroCardiogram: A procedure in which electrodes placed on the chest wall pick up the electrical conduction/activity of the heart. The depolarization and repolarization of the cardiac miocytes are are transcribed on a sheet of paper with the amplitude (+ or -) on the X axis, and time on the Y axis.

Of course it does. That is main purpose of it. It is related to the heart node electircal activity.
before and after you run EKG
EKG stands for electrocardiogram.
Yes, a V wave will be seen on a normal EKG tracing. A V wave can signal a lot of things in an EKG, but what it means will be up to the person reading the EKG and the person's reason for the EKG.
An ekg is a machine used in medical tests involving the heart. Often to operate one you have to attend a special school. EKG stands for: Electrocardiography.
When performing an EKG which limb is used as a ground.
