The ability of mitral papillary muscle positions to explain QRS complex characteristics in humans

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

Anatomical location of the conduction system may influence the characteristics of the depolarization and thus characteristics of the QRS complex. It is known that in the heart, there are electro-anatomical relationships, such as relationships among the molecular, genetic and anatomic components of the conduction system and papillary muscles. This review aims to discuss how knowledge of the electro-anatomical developmental relationships helps in understanding the known variability to be observed in the human electrocardiograms.
