Does decreasing the ECG sampling rate affect the measurement of QT interval and QRS complex duration?
Decreasing ECG sampling rates below 300 Hz leads to an overestimation of QT interval and QRS complex duration, highlighting the need for adequate sampling rates in precise ECG analysis.
Risk et al. (2005) reported an observational. Decreasing ECG sampling rate vs. Higher sampling rates (e.g., 500 Hz) was evaluated on 5tau value for exponential decay function of sampling rate effect on QT and QRS duration. Decreasing the ECG sampling rate below 300 Hz resulted in an overestimation of the QT interval and QRS complex duration.
