The vertical lines on ECG paper is also known as
|
|
the X-axis
|
|
|
the Y-axis
|
|
|
the V-axis
|
|
|
the A-axis

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Vertically, the ECG graph measures the height (amplitude) of a given wave or deflection. The standard calibration is 10 mm (10 small boxes), equal to 1 mV. On occasion, particularly when the waveforms are small, double standard is used (20 mm equals 1 mv).
Detailed explanation-2: -The vertical axis measures the amplitude of the heart’s electrical current. It is measured in millivolts (mV). By standard, 10 mm in height equals 1 mV. Therefore each 1 mm square on the vertical axis equals 0.1 mV and each large square, 0.5 mV.
Detailed explanation-3: -Voltage is measured along the vertical axis.
