The anatomical orientation of the heart The relative sizes of its chambers The various disturbances of rhythm Conduction, the extent and location of ischemic damage to the myocardium and its progress The effects of altered electrolyte concentrations The influence of certain drugs (notably digitalis, antiarrhythmic agents, and Ca ++ channel antagonists).
