Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these represents ventricular diastole on an ECG/ EKG?
A
T wave
B
QRS complex
C
U wave
D
P wave
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The T wave in the electrocardiogram represents the ventricular diastole when the ventricles relax or repolarize.

Detailed explanation-2: -T wave. T waves represent ventricular repolarization (atrial repolarization is obscured by the large QRS complex).

Detailed explanation-3: -The T-wave represents the return of the ventricles from excited to normal state (repolarisation). The end of the T-wave marks the end of systole.

Detailed explanation-4: -Solution: In a standard ECG, the T-wave represents the return of the ventricles from excited to normal state.

Detailed explanation-5: -The T wave occurs after the QRS complex and is a result of ventricular repolarization. T waves should be upright in most leads; the exceptions are aVR and V1. Further, T waves should be asymmetric in nature.
