Cardiac Cycle

Why are the walls of the left ventricle thicker than that of the right ventricle?

• The left ventricle must force blood into all the capillaries of the lungs 
• the left ventricle doesn't skip leg day
• This is false, the walls of the right ventricle are thicker
• Blood from the left ventricle is pumped throught the entire body

An EKG is actually

An electrocardiogram measures what?
