Question
**ECG Analysis Instructions**

1. Identify and color the following in the ECG image below:
   - Three P waves (color blue)
   - Three QRS complexes (color green)
   - Three T waves (color a different blue)
   - Three PR segments (color red)
   - Three ST segments (color purple)
   - Two full TP segments (color pink)
   - Two RR intervals (color brown)

*(The RR interval indicates the time for one heartbeat. The RR interval is measured from the peak of one QRS to the peak of the next QRS).*

**Graph/Diagram Explanation**

The ECG image displays a standard electrocardiogram reading plotted on graph paper. Key components include:

- **P Wave**: The first small upward deflection, representing atrial depolarization.
- **QRS Complex**: The sharp, tall upward and downward deflections following the P wave, indicating ventricular depolarization.
- **T Wave**: The moderate upward deflection after the QRS complex, representing ventricular repolarization.
- **PR Segment**: The flat line between the end of the P wave and the start of the QRS complex.
- **ST Segment**: The flat line following the QRS complex and before the T wave.
- **TP Segment**: The flat line between the T wave and the next P wave.
- **RR Interval**: The time between consecutive QRS complexes, used to measure heart rate stability.

Step 1 ECG

ECG refers to the electrocardiography , it is basically the graphical representation of cardiac activity , it is done by electrocardiogram machine 

Waves in ECG are -- 

  • P wave 
  • Q WAVE 
  • R wave 
  • S wave 
  • T wave 

Phases of cardiac waves -- 

P wave indicate atrial systole while QRS complex indicate ventricular systole and T wave corresponds to the ventricular distole
