The start of the QT interval is the first deviation from the isoelectric line following the p wave and the end is the last time the waveform crosses the isoelectric line before the T-wave begins. The waveform may well corss the isolelectric line several times before the end of the QRS interval. Normal measurement is less than or equal to .12
In simple terms, it is the start and end of the "spiky" high-frequency part of the waveform.
does a normal qrs complex measures <.12
Nothing, they are equivalent.
The ventricles contracting.
When ventricles depolarize
The QRS complex on an ECG represents ventricular depolarisation. This wave should have the greatest amplitude.
QRS
QRS complex
QRS-- A pattern seen in an electrocardiogram that indicates the pulses in a heart beat and their duration. Variations from a normal QRS pattern indicate heart disease.
Okay so an EKG show the electrical impulse that travels through the heart. What I mean is EKG don't show contraction. However the QRS complex represent ventricular depolarization, which signals ventricular contraction
the ventricles.
