- The ST segment in the EKG is typically quiet and on the isoelectric line (like the T-P segment). What is happening during the ST segment in the EKG such that we see no waves? a) There is no electrical activity happening in the ventricles between the S and T waves b) The heart is relaxed and filling with blood c) The ST segment is representative of the plateau of the many ventricular action potentials happening at that point d) There is no longer Na+ influx during the ST segment so no waves are visible e) The ST segment is during ventricular repolarization and repolarization is not seen on the EKGarrow_forwardWhen the SA node doesn’t function properly, the AV node takes over pacing the heart and produces what is known as a junctional rhythm.
