to the body
Inotropic -
correct answer ✅Beats Harder
Chronotropic -
correct answer ✅Beats Faster
Dromotropic -
correct answer ✅Improved contractility
"P" Wave -
correct answer ✅the P wave represents the electrical activity
associated with the contraction of the atria, or atrial depolarization
"P-R" Interval -
correct answer ✅Time required for conduction from the SA node

to AV node. The time between atrial and ventricular depolarization.
This is normally 0.12 to 0.2 seconds.
"Q" Wave -
correct answer ✅The first portion of the QRS complex that is seen
with a downward deflection and is usually not obvious on the EKG
of the normal heart. Often the first portion of the deflection is
positive, signifying no Q wave. This is the beginning of ventricular
depolarization.
"QRS" Complex -
correct answer ✅Represents ventricle depolarization. The QRS
Interval is measured from the start of the Q wave or from the
beginning of the R wave if no Q wave is present. If no Q wave is
present, a normal QRS interval should be less than 0.12 seconds in
all leads.
"ST" Segment -
correct answer ✅Indicates that ventricle depolarization is
complete and that repolarization is about to begin. Also called early
ventricle repolarization. The ST Segment is measured from the end
of the QRS to the beginning of the T wave, and represents a portion
of ventricular repolarization. The normal segment is usually flat, or
isoelectric. The absolute measurement of this segment is not as
