The QRS uniform, as the activation of the ventricle follows the same pathway complex duration is increased (0.18 sec), and the morphology is not each time. Thus, every QRS complex and ST-T wave is the same. In typical for either a right or left bundle branch block. Although there ventricular tachycardia, the activation of the left ventricle is not are no obvious P waves seen, there are inconsistent abnormalities of using the normal His-Purkinje system, but rather an alternative the ST-T waves, best seen in leads I (Ĺ) and V1 (Ļ). The variability in pathway that results in direct ventricular activation. The activation the ST-T waves may be due to superimposed P waves or may be differ- sequence may be variable, accounting for differences in the QRS com- ences in repolarization. There is also variability in the QRS complex plex. The abnormalities in ventricular depolarization is associated morphology seen in lead V1 (ࠬ).
