Beta-blockers slow heart rate by reducing the conduction of action potentials through the A-V (atrioventricular) node.

For example, if you colored the P wave green, underline in green the statement describing what the P wave represents. 1. This part of the waveform represents ventricular repolarization. 2. This part of the waveform represents atrial depolarization. 3. This part of the waveform represents the time it takes for the cardiac impulse to travel from the atria to the ventricles. 4. This part of the waveform represents ventricular depolarization. 5. This part of the waveform represents the end of ventricular depolarization and the beginning of ventricular repolarization. 192 Chapter 15 Heartarrow_forwardIf ECG of patient shows a P-wave to P-wave interval time of 720 milliseconds, calculate the heart rate in beats per minute.
