QRS complex and T wave are merged in regularly occurring undulatory waves with a frequency between 180 and 250 beats per minute.
These P waves are typically followed by a normal QRS complex and T wave.
The QT interval is an indirect measurement of ventricular repolarization and is measured from the beginning of the QRS complex to the end of the T wave on the electrocardiogram (Drew, 2005) (See Figure Three).
