Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The statement: “MEDIATE PERIOD BETWEEN ISOELECTRICAL VENTRICULAR ACTIVATION AND REPOLARIZATION WITH 2 mm DEVIATION” Corresponds to:
A
ST segment
B
PQ Segment
C
PR interval
D
QT Interval
E
A T
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In a cardiac stress test, an ST depression of at least 1 mm after adenosine administration indicates a reversible ischaemia, while an exercise stress test requires an ST depression of at least 2 mm to significantly indicate reversible ischaemia.

Detailed explanation-2: -The QT-interval is the time between the onset of ventricular depolarization and the end of ventricular repolarization. The ST-interval is the time between the end of the S-wave and the beginning of the T-wave [119].

Detailed explanation-3: -T waves represent ventricular repolarization (atrial repolarization is obscured by the large QRS complex).

Detailed explanation-4: -QT interval is the time from starting of the QRS wave to the end of the T wave. It represents one cycle of ventricular electrical activity from the start of ventricular depolarization to the end of ventricular repolarization.
