There are several methods for determining heart rate. Our first method is simple. Count the number of QRS complexes over a 6 second interval. Multiply by 10 to determine heart rate. This method works well for both regular and irregular rhythms. In the first image, we can count 5 QRS complexes, so the heart rate is 50. #MedStudent #EKG #Basics #HeartRate #Calculate #Rate #ECGEducator
