ECG of a normal heart rate, artwork
Electrocardiogram (ECG) of a normal heart rate, artwork. An ECG measures the electrical activity of the heart. Contractions are caused by electrical signals between the upper (atrial) and lower (ventricular) chambers. The P wave represents the contraction, or depolarisation, of the atria. The QRS wave complex represents the contraction of the venrticles. The T wave represents the repolarisation, or the relaxing, of the ventricles. The wave appears upward or downwards depending upon whether the electrical activity is going towards or away from the area of the body the electrode is placed on

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the intricate beauty of a normal heart rate through an electrocardiogram (ECG). The ECG, which measures the electrical activity of the heart, reveals the synchronized dance between its upper and lower chambers. Each contraction is orchestrated by precise electrical signals that travel between these chambers. In this stunning illustration, we can observe various waves that represent different stages of the cardiac cycle. The P wave signifies the depolarization or contraction of the atria, while the QRS complex symbolizes ventricular contraction. Finally, the T wave represents repolarization or relaxation of the ventricles. The directionality of these waves is visually depicted as they appear either upward or downward based on whether electrical activity is moving towards or away from specific areas where electrodes are placed on our bodies during diagnosis. With its meticulous labeling and attention to detail, this artwork serves as a valuable tool in medical diagnostics and cardiology. It provides healthcare professionals with a comprehensive visual representation to accurately assess heart health and identify any abnormalities. Science Photo Library has once again demonstrated their expertise in capturing scientific concepts through artistry. This print not only showcases their dedication to accuracy but also highlights how science and creativity intertwine seamlessly to enhance our understanding of medicine and human physiology.
