A slow depolarization of the ventricles is likely to alter the shape of the QRS complex on an ECG reading. This section comprises three observable deflections typical of a standard electrocardiogram. It represents the most prominent and central segment of the diagram. It signifies the depolarization occurring in the left and right ventricles of the heart.
During this process, the duration may be shorter in children.
QRS waves appear rapidly in succession. The Q wave reflects a downward deflection following the P wave. The R wave represents an upward deflection, while after the R wave, an S wave reflects downward, and the T wave follows the S waves.
