Cardiomatics guide: Analyzing arrhythmias made easy

Cardiomatics

The electrical conduction system [1] In schematic depiction of a normal sinus rhythm the P-wave represents atrial depolarization, the QRS complex symbolizes ventricular depolarization, and the T-wave indicates ventricular repolarization. Sinus tachycardia – sinus rhythm above 100 bpm is a sinus tachycardia.
