Diagram showing how the polarity of the QRS complex in leads I, II, and III can be used to estimate the heart's electrical axis in the frontal plane. The QRS complex is the combination of three of the graphical deflections seen on a typical electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). It is usually the central and most visually obvious part of the tracing.
In order to detect a QRS complex, the local peaks of the integrated signal are found. A peak is defined as the point in which the signal changes direction (from an increasing direction to a decreasing direction). After each peak, no peak can be detected in the next 200 ms (i.e. the lockout time).

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 ...
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 T wave can be described by its symmetry, skewness, slope of ascending and descending limbs, amplitude and subintervals like the T peak –T end interval. [1] In most leads, the T wave is positive. This is due to the repolarization of the membrane. During ventricle contraction (QRS complex), the heart depolarizes.
ST segment depression may be determined by measuring the vertical distance between the patient's trace and the isoelectric line at a location 2 [4]-3 millimeters from the QRS complex. [citation needed] It is significant if it is more than 1 mm in V5-V6, or 1.5 mm in AVF or III. [citation needed]
At this stage, which corresponds to the R peak or the QRS complex seen on an ECG, the semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary valves) are also closed. The net result is that, while contraction causes ventricular pressures to rise sharply, there is no overall change in volume because of the closed valves.
