As a medical professional with expertise in cardiology, I can explain the components of an electrocardiogram (ECG) in detail. The ECG is a crucial diagnostic tool that provides a graphical representation of the electrical activity of the heart over time.
The
QRS wave of the ECG is a key component that
represents the depolarization of the
ventricles. This process is critical because it initiates the contraction of the ventricles, which then pumps blood out to the body. The QRS complex is typically the most prominent part of the ECG and can be identified by its distinctive pattern: a sharp initial deflection followed by a slower, broader wave.
Here's the explanation in English, followed by the translation in Chinese, separated by "
