I: | The P-wave represents the electrical excitation (or depolarization) of the atria. |
II: | The QRS complex represents the depolarization of the ventricles, which initiates the ventricular contraction. |
III: | The end of the T-wave marks the end of diastole. |
Assertion (A): | Any deviation from the normal shape of ECG indicates a possible abnormality or disease. |
Reason (R): | The ECGs obtained from different individuals have roughly the same shape for a given lead configuration. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |

To obtain a standard ECG, a patient is connected to the machine with three electrical leads including all the following except:
1. | One to right wrist | 2. | One to left wrist |
3. | One to right ankle | 4. | One to left ankle |
The period of systole is represented on surface ECG as between:
1. Beginning of P wave and beginning of Q wave
2. End of S wave and beginning of T wave
3. Shortly after Q wave and end of the T wave
4. Two successive R waves
