Expert Solution
Step 1

Electrocardiography -- The process by which electrocardiogram is done defined as electrocardiography .

E.C.G. or E.K.G.--Electrocardiogram , a recording of electrical signals or action potentials from the heart to check  by placing of electrodes on the chest and limbs ,on the surface of chest of the heart . The changes in the electrode potential are recorded on a graph called as waves by a machine

Indication of E.C.G. -Mostly electro cardio gram done to confirm the diagnosis with a symptoms of heart disease ,like chest pain ,heaviness on the chest ,restlessness ,ghabrahat , profuse sweating and difficulty in breathing .

Para meters seen in a normal E.C.G. -- A normal E.C.G. -   rate , rhythm, axis   ,waves ,intervals and complexes segments  and has twelve leads

1- Standard Leads -- These are of two types   i -Limb leads -LI ,LII. LIII       ii - augmented leads aVr, aVl  and aVf .

2 -Chest leads - V1 , V2 , V3 ,V4 ,V5 , V6 

Waves are  p ,q ,r , s ,t and u ,if waves are large presented by capital letter and vice versa .

P wave present atrial depolarization 

qrs complex shows ventricular depolarization 

t wave - ventricular repolarization 

Atrial repolarization deflection is very small and unable to create marked changes in an E.C.G.

Complexes -- q r s complex made up of q wave r wave and s wave basically form the complex.

Interval - pr interval 

                qt interval 

Segment - s t segment
