Clinical significance
• In hyperkalemia – wave prolonged
• In bundle branch block – prolonged and deformed
‘T’ WAVE
Cause – Repolarization of ventricular
musculatature
Duration – 0.2 sec.
amplitude – 0.3 sec.
Morphology – positive in lead in 1, 2 and v5 and v6 .
It is normally inverted in lead AVR
Clinical significance -
T WAVE
U WAVE
U wave is not always seen . It is also an
insignificant wave in ECG .
It is supposed to be due to Repolarization of
papillary muscle or purkinje fiber
Clinical significance-
Clinical significance -
hypocalcaemia Shortened
Condition of
myocardial
infarction
S-T SEGMENT
It is time interval between the end of ‘S’ wave and
onset of ‘T’ wave it is the isoelectric period
