What does repolarization mean for an ecg reading?

Electrical-recharge: The automatic pace maker on the top of your heart generate tiny amout of electricity which travels down the heart and trigger it to contract/beat. This electrical current comes from the influx/outflux of calcium/potassium etc..So, when it is "polarized" the heart pumps. In order for it to pump again, it must relax and repolarization is basically a recharge. Hope that makes sense. Have fun learning.
