Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the resting period, the EKG strip shows a flat baseline with no deflections or waveforms present. This is because the heart is not actively contracting or releasing electrical activity during this time. Any movements, muscle-tension or device-interference can create an artifact on the EKG strip, but this is not a normal cardiac waveform.
