Table 1. ECG Parameters
Parameter | Measures [normal range in milliseconds (ms)] |
---|---|
P Wave | Depolarization of the atria |
PR Interval | Time from
the onset of atrial depolarization (P wave) to onset of ventricular depolarization
(QRS complex) Duration of atrioventricular conduction [120 to 200] |
QRS Complex | Duration of depolarization of the ventricles [<120] |
QT Interval | Depolarization
and repolarization of the ventricles [<420; potentially <440 in women] |
RR Interval | Duration of ventricular cardiac cycle (an indication of ventricular rate) |
