    Outstanding. I sat through a two hour lecture and I was more confused than when I came in. This is straight to the point and very clear. Thanks.

    Omg, I have tried to get someone to make me understand this for so long. I have watched so many other videos,then I saw your video and mentally challenged you to make me understand. I could not believe how simple you made it. I finally got it. You have a new subscriber and I will be using your videos as as part of my studies from now on. Thank you so much!

    I'm a registered nurse and I just found this app called ACLSMED super helpful!! It has all ecg rhythms, clinical significance, causes, treatments, etc. A must have for healthcare professionals and medical and nursing students!!! It is available in androids and iphone. Just my two cents! :)

    Remember AVDA
    A- Atrial systole (depolarisation of atria/contraction of atria/P)
    V-Ventricular Systole (depolarisation of the ventricles/contraction of the ventricles/P)
    D-Diastole (repolarisation of the ventricles/relaxation of both atria and venticles/QRS complex)
    A-- Atrial systole (depolarisation of atria/contraction of atria/P)-ommiting U
    Correct me if I'm wrong or thumbs me up for others to see.

    • @javeriyaneha7893
      @javeriyaneha7893 Год назад

      As u mentioned that means both atria and ventricles contracts at the same time
      Which is not possible(except in diseased condition)....

  • @InteractiveBiology
    @InteractiveBiology  13 лет назад

    @pirateXhunterXzoro Excellent question. That has to do with the fact that you aren't measuring the depolarization and repolarization directly on the heart. You are placing positive and negative electrodes on different parts of the body (i.e. wrists and ankles) and measuring the potential differences. These result from what happens in the heart, but there's more involved in that. I can't explain every nuance, but that's the overall reason from my understanding.

    @InteractiveBiology  13 лет назад

    @petercourt I'm not sure of the exact range but it should start within a few milliseconds. However, the contraction can last up to as much as 300 milliseconds. Check out episode 47 for info on the actual contraction.

  • @essamhaitham
    @essamhaitham 11 лет назад

    the u wave is due to contraction of the papillary muscle .. small,positive, and rare wave
    and the atria Re-polarization is masked by the stronger QRS complex ( ventricles depolarization ) because they happen at the same time ;) ..hoped i helped

  • @havingfun122

  • @genius4themostpart
    @genius4themostpart 13 лет назад

    why is the T wave "positive"? I understand, and it makes sense that the depolarization in the atriums and the ventricles have that effect on the EKG but not why the T wave is positive.
    Thank you for great videos, I just found your channel and i love it!

  • @scottwilly86
    @scottwilly86 9 лет назад +30

    You should state atria repolarization during the QRS complex to avoid confusion.

    • @Olorin89
      @Olorin89 9 лет назад +1

      it occours during QRS complex right?

    • @Wake06Forest
      @Wake06Forest 9 лет назад

      +Olorin i believe so. the ventricles are a bigger muscle so ventricular repolarization masks it on the EKG

    • @scottwilly86
      @scottwilly86 9 лет назад +3

      Olorin
      That's correct. As the ventricles depolarize, the atria experience repolarization but it is masked by the much larger QRS complex. You can see the atrial repolariaztion, or Ta wave, under certain conditions such as a third degree AV block. In this case, the wave of depolarization initiated from the atria never reaches the ventricles and you can eventually see the Ta wave by itself.

    @pirateXhunterXzoro 13 лет назад

    For the P and QRS, why does the line go back down when they're still depolarized? Why does the T wave line go up during repolarization? And why does the Q and S go down before spiking up?
    Thanks a lot

    That the direction of electrical depolarization is retrograde to what it normal is. When seen in lead 2, it implies the vector is moving away from Lead 2 (when you think of Einthoven's triangle)
