A male client with a history of angina has presented to the emergency department with uncharacteristic chest pain, and his subsequent ECG reveals T-wave elevation
This finding suggests an abnormality with which of the following aspects of the cardiac cycle?
A) Atrial depolarization
B) Ventricular depolarization
C) Ventricular repolarization
D) Depolarization of the AV node
Ans: C
Feedback:
The T wave on electrocardiography (ECG) corresponds to ventricular repolarization. Atrial depolarization is represented by the P wave and ventricular depolarization by the QRS complex. The isoelectric or zero line between the P wave and the Q wave represents depolarization of the AV node, bundle branches, and Purkinje system.
