The atrial repolarization occurs during the QRS complex of the ECG but is obscured by the ventricle depolarization.

What is the portion of the ECG that indicates ventricular repolarization?

The wave indicating atrial repolarization wave is hidden by the QRS complex. Ventricular repolarization is indicated by the T wave.


Atrial repolarization coincides in time with?

Atrial repolarization coincides with the QRS complex on the ECG. The T-wave corresponds to Ventricular repolarization. 'with tHE t-wave' <-- WRONG


Does the p wave in an ekg indicate atrial depolarization?

No it does not. Atrial repolarization is generally not visible on the telemetry strip because it happens at the same time as ventricular depolarization (QRS complex). The P wave represents atrial DEpolarization (and atrial systole). Atrial repolarization happens during atrial diastole (and ventricular systole).


Why is the ECG event indicating atrial repolarization not seen in an ECG?

It is on page 374 of your lab book assuming this is the same question that came out Lab 28 in the Ninth Edition of Seeley's Anatomy & Physiology. The atrial repolarization occurs during ventricualr depolarization and is masked by the larger QRS complex. I actually did my homework :)


What is the correct order of ECG waves?

P wave - represents atrial depolarization (contraction) QRS complex - ventricular depolarization T wave - ventricular repolarization (relaxation) atrial repolarization is "buried" within the QRS Complex

The QRS complex in an electrocardiogram results from?

An Electrocardiogram of a single heart beat shows three distinct waves. These are the P, QRS and T Waves. The QRS wave (normally the largest spike) in the electrocardiogram, is that of the ventricles depolarizing and contracting.

Repolarization of a ventricular cardiocyte taks longer then repolarization of a typical neuron?

yes


What does a segment of an ECG tracing indicate?

P waves represent the atrial depolarization. QRS complex represent the ventricular depolarization. T waves represent the ventricular repolarization.


What does precordial repolarization disturbance mean?

Precordial repolarization disturbance is a heart condition that can be determined though an EKG. Precordial has to do with the area above your heart and repolarization has to do with the heart muscle preparing itself for it's next beat.


What does the t wave represent on an ecg?

It represents the repolorization of the ventricles. The ventricles must reset electrically after contracting. In a normal Sinus Rhythm the p wave comes first. Then the QRS complex which is the largest part of the heartbeat will come less than .2 seconds later. The QRS complex usually lasts less than .12 seconds. The final bump is (usually) the T wave.
