When wave of depolarization travels toward a lead, how is this represented on an ECG tracing? When wave of repolarization travels toward a lead, how is this represented on an ECG tracing? Negative deflection (downward) No change (horizontal) Positive deflection (upward) Negative (downward) No change (horizontal) Positive (upward) If the overall electrical activity vector of the heart points superiorly (upward, toward the head) for a short time, how will this look on an ECG recording? It depends on which "lead" records the electrical activity. The "upward" vector means the ECG recording will have a downward deflection. The "upward" vector means the ECG recording will have an upward deflection.
