Describe the shape of an ECG trace?

An ECG trace typically shows a series of waveforms - P wave (atrial depolarization), QRS complex (ventricular depolarization), and T wave (ventricular repolarization) - on a graph with time plotted on the x-axis and voltage on the y-axis. The shape can vary depending on the heart's rhythm and any abnormalities present.

How can a heart murmur affect an ECG?

It won't. But in the long term the murmur (depending on which valve is affected) will cause hypertrophy of cardiac muscles for the different ventricles/atria. And the hypertrophy will be detected by the ECG because it will change the cardiac axis. Murmurs are easily heard using a stethoscope so and ECG isn't useful. An ECG monitors the electric impulses of the heart muscle - so better to see heart blocks, infarcts, hypertrophy, AF, SVT etc
