Regular electrocardiograms may help physicians identify patients at risk of sudden cardiac death
QRS duration (QRSd) is one of several measures of heart function recorded during a routine electrocardiogram (ECG). It is a composite of waves showing the length of time it takes for an electrical signal to get all the way ...
