The rate of appearance of the QRS and T waves is unaffected if the heart develops a complete heart block.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A complete heart block refers to the interruption of the electrical signal from the atria to the ventricles, leading to independent activation of both chambers. This results in a slower rate of ventricular contractions. As a result, the rate of appearance of QRS and T waves will be affected and may appear slower than usual due to the slower heart rate.
