  2. QT interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QT_interval

    The QT interval is a measurement made on an electrocardiogram used to assess some of the electrical properties of the heart.It is calculated as the time from the start of the Q wave to the end of the T wave, and approximates to the time taken from when the cardiac ventricles start to contract to when they finish relaxing.

  3. T wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_wave

    The shape of the T wave is usually asymmetrical with a rounded peak. T wave inversions from V2 to V4 leads are frequently found and normal in children. In normal adults, T wave inversions from V2 to V3 are less commonly found but can be normal. [4] The depth of the T wave also becomes progressively shallow from one to the next lead. [5]

  5. Electrocardiography - Wikipedia

    Peaked T waves can be a sign of hyperkalemia or very early myocardial infarction. 160 ms Corrected QT interval (QTc) The QT interval is measured from the beginning of the QRS complex to the end of the T wave. Acceptable ranges vary with heart rate, so it must be corrected to the QTc by dividing by the square root of the RR interval.

  6. Romano–Ward syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romano–Ward_syndrome

    The normal range of QT intervals in the normal population and in those with Romano-Ward syndrome Characteristic T-wave patterns in the 3 major subtypes of Romano-Ward syndrome Romano–Ward syndrome is principally diagnosed by measuring the QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) on a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG).

  7. Rhythm interpretation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm_interpretation

    There are 6 different sinus arrhythmia. [1] [2]A normal heart should have a normal sinus rhythm, this rhythm can be identified by a ventricular rate of 60-100 bpm, at a regular rate, with a normal PR interval (0.12 to 0.20 second) and a normal QRS complex (0.12 second and less).

  8. QRS complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QRS_complex

    An R wave follows as an upward deflection, and the S wave is any downward deflection after the R wave. The T wave follows the S wave, and in some cases, an additional U wave follows the T wave. To measure the QRS interval start at the end of the PR interval (or beginning of the Q wave) to the end of the S wave. Normally this interval is 0.08 to ...

    Anyways, let’s do a quick example of a male with a 400 milliseconds QT interval at a rate of 90 beats per minute. Comparing to the values at 60 beats per minute, 400 milliseconds wouldn’t be considered a long QT, right? If we use our handy formula, though, we’ll plug in 400 for QT and 90 beats per minute or .66 seconds per beat.
