Interpreting an ECG

The ECG (electrocardiogram) is divided into three main sections: the P wave, the QRS complex, and the T wave.  During the phase known as the P wave, the atria contract.  The QRS complex is the ventricular contraction, and the T wave is what is known as ventricular re-polarization—essentially the ventricles preparing for the next contraction.
