Abnormalities of the QRS axis and the QRS interval have been discussed in earlier chapters and will be noted in this chapter only as they relate to other problems. As a general rule, the QRS complex reflects primarily left ventricular activity and to a much lesser extent right ventricular ...
The QRS complex consists of three deflections in the ECG waveform. The QRS complex reflects the depolarization of the right and left ventricles and is the most prominent feature of the human ECG. Load and plot an ECG waveform where the R peaks of the QRS complex have been annotated by two...
ECG interpretation traditionally starts with an assessment of the P-wave. TheP-wavereflects atrial depolarization (activation). ThePR intervalis the distance between the onset of the P-wave to the onset of the QRS complex. The PR interval is assessed in order to determine whether impulse conducti...
In this study, the upper limit of the normal QRS duration stood at about 110 ms. Males had a longer QRS complex duration of about 4 ms than females across all age groups. For a long time, it was thought this stemmed only from the larger cardiac dimensions of males but one study ...

Great controversy exists over normal values of QT or the corrected QT (QTc) duration; in the absence of broad QRS complex, the 99th percentile of QTc is 470 ms for men and 480 ms for women. It is generally accepted that a QTc above 500 ms is a high risk factor for Tdp [3]. In...

Certain characteristic parts of the impedance-pressure-ECG signal are easy to recognize, such as the P wave 231, the QRS complex 232 and the T wave 233. In principle, the impedance-pressure curve 195 in FIG. 18 corresponds to a projection of the impedance-pressure-ECG curve 230 in the ...
The ECG signal represents the electrical activity of the heart, and its main components are shown inFigure 4. In particular, the QRS complex reflects the electrical activity within the heart during the ventricular contraction; hence, it serves as the basis for classification schemes of the cardiac...
