Detailed explanation-1: -Ventricular depolarization and activation is represented by the QRS complex, whereas ventricular repolarization (VR) is expressed as the interval from the beginning of the QRS complex to the end of the T wave (QT interval). VR is a complex electrical phenomenon which has been studied in detail[2, 3].
Detailed explanation-2: -A combination of the Q wave, R wave and S wave, the “QRS complex” represents ventricular depolarization. This term can be confusing, as not all ECG leads contain all three of these waves; yet a “QRS complex” is said to be present regardless.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ventricular depolarization occurs in part via an accessory pathway (AP) directly connecting the atrium and ventricle and thus capable of conducting electrical impulses into the ventricle bypassing the AV-His Purkinje conduction system.
