ECG (Main)

Measurement

All these measures are valid for the standard paper speed of 25 mm/Sec

• 1 small box = 1mm = 0.04 sec = 40 miliseconds
• 5 small boxes = 1 big box = 5mm = 0.2 sec = 200 miliseconds
• Standard 12 lead ECG duration = 10 seconds

Interval	Time(s)	Boxes
PR	0.12 - 0.20	3-5
QRS	0.06 - 0.10	1.5-2.5
QTc	<0.44	N/A
