How much do you know about electrocardiograms? When someone is having some problems with their heart, a physician may need to take some tests such as an ECG. The ECG records electrical signals in the heart by determining heart rate, heart rhythm, and other information regarding the heart`s condition. Take the quiz and get to see how much you know about this test!
The Presence of Fibrillatory waves
The Presence of Delta waves before QRS
The "Saw Tooth" or "Picket Fence" appearance of waveforms before QRS
P waves of varying sizes and amplitude

Is Completely variable in duration
Gradually decreases in duration until a p wave appears without a QRS complex
