For each of the cardiac phenomena A–E, select the most appropriate option from the features of the electrocardiogram listed below.

1. The T wave.

2. The P wave.

3. The P–R interval.

4. Depression of the ST segment.

5. A flat record.


  1. Cardiac arrest.
  2. Repolarization of the ventricles.
  3. Inadequate blood flow to ventricular muscle.
  4. The delay in impulse conduction in the AV node.
  5. Spread of the cardiac impulse over the atria.

A. Option 5 A flat record. During asystole no ECG complexes can be detected.

B. Option 1 The T wave. The T wave marks the end of the ventricular depolarization that gives rise to systole.

C. Option 4 Depression of the ST segment. Depression of the ST segment is a sign of ischaemia during cardiac treadmill testing.

D. Option 3 The P–R interval. This delay allows the atria to contract before the ventricles contract.

E. Option 2 The P wave. Abnormalities in the P waves indicate atrial dysfunction
