The largest deflection from the isoelectric line in the ECG is found in the

A) P wave.
B) T wave.
C) T-P segment.
D) QRS complex.
E) P-R interval.

Isoelectric Line

The baseline of the electrocardiogram (ECG) where no electrical activity is recorded, representing the period between heartbeats.

Deflection

The change in direction of a wave or object due to a change in its speed, typically as a result of entering a different medium.

ECG

ECG, or Electrocardiogram, is a medical test that measures the electrical activity of the heart to assess heart health and detect any abnormalities.

  • Interpret the various segments and waves of an Electrocardiogram (ECG) and their physiological significance.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The QRS complex represents the depolarization of the ventricles, which produces a large electrical signal in the ECG that is often the most significant deflection from the isoelectric line.
