Normally EKG graph paper has thick dark lines at the top or bottom of the paper. In the strip presented here, the lines are at the bottom of the paper. The space between the lines is equal to 3 seconds. A standard EKG strip is run over 6 seconds. When printing an EKG rhythm strip the paper prints at a standard speed of 25 mm per second.
