A combination of the Q wave, R wave and S wave, the “QRS complex” represents ventricular depolarization. This term can be confusing, as not all ECG leads contain all three of these waves ...

Because the normal ventricular conduction system (His-Purkinje) is used, the QRS complex is frequently narrow. A junctional rhythm is normally slow — less than 60 beats per minute. When faster ...

She returns for a follow-up visit for palpitations, and a 12-lead ECG is obtained. The rhythm is regular, at a rate of 150 beats/min. The QRS complex duration is normal (0.08 sec) with normal ...

The most commonly used voltage criterion for LVH is the Sokolow-Lyon index. However, ECG QRS voltage may not be a reliable predictor of LVH. The limitation of the ECG in identifying ventricular ...

Objective: Precordial ECGs reveal significant intrasubject variability due to the inexact employment of the recommended V 1-V 6 chest landmarks. Also, as per the Einthoven law, the six limb leads ...
