Description:

Electrocardiography provides visibility into the heart’s electrical activity, helping doctors diagnose a wide range of cardiac abnormalities. For example, a blockage in the right bundle branch of the intraventricular conduction system (inset) produces a particular set of characteristic ECG signals. (Figure by MIT OCW.)
