The ECG in Figure 2A was generated by using the ECGSIM default parameter setting. It is a normal ECG, with a normal ventricular depolarization sequence and normal APD heterogeneity. It is concordant in most leads and has a QRS-T angle of 70°. This is well below the upper normal value ...

The P-wave, PR interval and PR segment ECG interpretation traditionally starts with an assessment of the P-wave. The P-wave reflects atrial depolarization (activation). The PR interval is the distance between the onset of the P-wave to the onset of the QRS complex. The PR interval is asse...

The QRS interval can be modified by several factors (such as bundle branch block, Class 1c antiarrhythmic drugs, or preexcitation); these changes in depolarization can alter re- polarization in unexpected ways, and thus the QT interval may not be an accurate reflection of repolarization du...
The features of time domain and power spectrum of high frequency electtocardiogram (HF-ECG) were studied in normal Kunming mice using a microptocessor ECGsystem. The results were as follows (X±SD): (1) P-R interval was 34. 9± 4. 7 ms(n= 58), about one third of the cardiac cyc...
Describe the electrical events occurring in the heart that are responsible for the P wave, QRS complex and T waves of the ECG. What is happening to the myocardium during (1) the PR interval and (2) the ST segment? Summarize the ECG characteristics of the premature ventricular complex given...
In normal sinus rhythm, what does the P-wave, the PR interval, QRS complex, and QT interval reflect?ECG:An ECG, or electrocardiogram, is an electrical readout of the heart which measures the electrical output of all heart chambers during cardiac cycles. Th...
