What is expected when looking at an ECG strip for a patient with congestive heart failure? (Check all that would apply).

No peace present 

No T wave present 

Irregular QRS complexing 

Elongated ST segment

The image contains two graphs depicting heart activity, labeled "Normal" and "CHF" (Congestive Heart Failure).

### Normal Graph:
- **X-axis (Horizontal):** Labeled as "Seconds," indicating the time duration over which the readings are taken.
- **Y-axis (Vertical):** Labeled as "Normalized Amplitude," representing the strength of the heart signal.
- **Graph Details:** The waveform shows regular spikes at intervals, depicting typical heartbeats with consistent amplitude.

### CHF Graph:
- **X-axis (Horizontal):** Also labeled as "Seconds," similar to the Normal graph.
- **Y-axis (Vertical):** Labeled as "Normalized Amplitude."
- **Graph Details:** The waveform displays irregular patterns with varying amplitude, indicating abnormal heart function associated with Congestive Heart Failure.

These graphs are essential for understanding the differences in heart activity between a healthy individual and one with CHF, aiding in education and diagnosis.
