Question

The diagram given here is the standard ECG of a normal person. The P - wave represents the

  • contraction of both the atria

  • initiation of the ventricular contraction

  • beginning of the systole

  • end of systole

Answer

A.

contraction of both the atria

In ECG, P wave represents the depolarisation of atria, which leads to the contraction of both atria. T wave represents the return of ventricles from excited to normal state. The QRS complex represents the depolarisation of the ventricles, which initiates ventricular contraction. The contraction starts shortly after Q and marks the beginning of systole.
