In a standard ECG, which one of the following alphabets is the correct representation of the respective activity of the human heart?
  1. R-repolarisation of ventricles
  2. S-start of systole
  3. T-end of diastole
  4. P-depolarisation of the atria

Solution

In ECG, P-wave indicates impulse of contraction generated by SA-node and it spreads in atria causing atrial depolarisation. T-wave is the most constant and conspicuous wave having the tallest amplitude. It is the first positive deflection during ventricular depolarisation. S-wave is the next downward deflection constant but often inconspicuous. T-wave is repolarisation wave of ventricular relaxation.
