Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In which ECG phase does ventricular repolarization occur?
A
T wave
B
R wave
C
P wave
D
QRS complex
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ventricular repolarization is a complex electrical phenomenon which represents a crucial stage in electrical cardiac activity. It is expressed on the surface electrocardiogram by the interval between the start of the QRS complex and the end of the T wave or U wave (QT).

Detailed explanation-2: -The T wave represents ventricular repolarization. The T wave exhibits a positive deflection. The reason for this is that the last cells to depolarize in the ventricles are the first to repolarize.

Detailed explanation-3: -The electrocardiographic (ECG) manifestation of ventricular repolarization includes J (Osborn), T, and U waves. On the basis of biophysical principles of ECG recording, any wave on the body surface ECG represents a coincident voltage gradient generated by cellular electrical activity within the heart.
