The QRS complex is often used to determine the axis of the electrocardiogram, although it is also possible to determine a separate P wave axis. The duration, amplitude, and morphology of the QRS complex are useful in diagnosing cardiac arrhythmias , conduction abnormalities , ventricular hypertrophy , myocardial infarction , electrolyte ...
The cycle also correlates to key electrocardiogram tracings: the T wave (which indicates ventricular diastole); the P wave (atrial systole); and the QRS 'spikes' complex (ventricular systole)—all shown as color purple-in-black segments.

The filtered signal is squared to enhance the dominant peaks (QRSs) and reduce the possibility of erroneously recognizing a T wave as an R peak. Then, a moving average filter is applied to provide information about the duration of the QRS complex. The number of samples to average is chosen in order to average on windows of 150 ms. [1]
Metabolic issues such as severe hyperkalemia, or tricyclic antidepressant overdose can also widen the QRS complex. An unusually tall QRS complex may represent left ventricular hypertrophy while a very low-amplitude QRS complex may represent a pericardial effusion or infiltrative myocardial disease. 80 to 100 ms J-point: The J-point is the point ...
QRS wave duration between 100 and 120 ms. rsr, rsR, or rSR in leads V1 or V2. S wave of longer duration than R wave or greater than 40 ms in leads I and V6. Normal R wave peak time in both V5 and V6, but greater than 50 ms in V1. The first three criteria are needed for diagnosis. The fourth is needed when a pure dominant R waver is present on ...
In lead V 1, the QRS complex is often entirely negative (QS morphology), although a small initial R wave may be seen (rS morphology). In the lateral leads (I, aVL, V 5-V 6) the QRS complexes are usually predominantly positive with a slow upstroke last >60ms to the R-wave peak. [4] Notching may be seen in these leads but this is not universal.
P waves: Upright, consistent, and normal in morphology and duration. PR interval: Between 0.12 and 0.20 seconds in duration. QRS complex: Less than 0.12 seconds in width, and consistent in morphology. [7] Taking a thorough medical history and physical exam by healthcare providers can also help with narrowing differential diagnosis.
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).
