Question
20.3 cardiac muscle tissue and the cardiac conduction system
an analysis of the electrocardiogram can reveal all except
o an enlarged heart
o abnormalities in the conduction pathway
o damaged areas in the heart
o stroke volume
An electrocardiogram (ECG) records the electrical activity of the heart. It can show an enlarged heart (by changes in the size and shape of electrical waves), abnormalities in the conduction pathway (due to disruptions in electrical signals), and damaged areas (from changes in the electrical pattern). However, stroke volume, which is the amount of blood pumped out of the heart with each beat, cannot be directly determined from an ECG. It requires other methods like echocardiography or invasive hemodynamic measurements.
