You are learning to read electrocardiograms. You know that the patient you are examining has a pathology affecting the depolarization of his ventricles, therefore you're looking for a change in what portion of his EKG? The P wave O The T wave O The QRS complex "The P wave" or "The T wave" but not "The QRS complex". None of these would be altered
How much blood passes from the left ventricle into the aorta during diastole?
