ECG

Electrocardiogram, a test that records the electrical activity of the heart to diagnose various heart conditions.

Isoelectric Line

The baseline of an electrocardiogram (ECG) where no electrical activity is detected, indicating a period of cardiac rest.

Intervals

in the context of time, represents durations or spaces between events; in music, it's the difference in pitch between two notes.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The intervals of the ECG all contain at least 1 wave and 1 segment. The P wave and T wave are considered waves, while the PR interval, QRS complex, and QT interval contain both a wave and a segment. Therefore, choice C is the only correct statement.
