my resolutes are
Vent. rate : 93 bpm
RR interval : 643 ms

QRS Duration : 102 ms

PR interval is normal.  Normally between 120 and 200 ms.

The QRS complex is normally less than 100 ms seconds in length. Lengthening of the QRS indicates some blockage of the electrical action in the conducting system. This may be due to ischemia, necrosis of the conducting tissue, electrolyte abnormality, or hypothermia.  Can rule out as there is no other evidence and doctor states normal.

At normal heart rates, QT length is abnormal if it’s greater than 400 ms.  RR interval and 93 bpm indicates a normal heart rate.

QTc is the QT wave interval divided by heart rate and within normal range.

P-R-T AXIS indicates the heart orientation is normal.
