Expert Solution
Introduction

EKG or the electrocardiogram is a graphical representation of electrical signals produced during a heartbeat. It measures both the amplitude and duration of electrical signals produced during specific events that cause the contraction and relaxation of cardiac muscles. An EKG graph is divided into P wave, QRS complex, and T wave. The segments PR, ST, and TP exist between the waves.
