Summary Introduction

To determine: The way of detecting the defect of delayed current through the voltage-gated K⁺ channels on the ECG recordings.

Introduction: The electrical current produced by depolarization and repolarization of ventricles and atria is detected by the electrodes. Moreover, it is recorded on the ECG graph as a series of waves and complexes. This association of waves and complexes is known as a waveform.
