What is the normal measurement range for the QRS complex?

The normal measurement range for the QRS complex is 0.04 to 0.10 seconds. This duration indicates the time it takes for the electrical impulses to travel through the ventricles, leading to ventricular contraction. A QRS complex within this range is considered normal, reflecting healthy ventricular depolarization and indicating that the electrical conduction through the ventricular tissue is efficient.

Abnormal values outside this range can suggest various cardiac conditions, such as intraventricular conduction delays, bundle branch blocks, or other forms of arrhythmias, which can manifest as a QRS duration that is either too short or excessively prolonged. Therefore, understanding the normal measurement range is crucial for interpreting ECG readings accurately and diagnosing potential heart issues effectively.
