The QRS complex represents depolarisation (electrical excitation) of the ventricles, which triggers ventricular contraction (systole).

QRS is the ECG wave produced by the spread of electrical excitation through the ventricular muscle.

In an electrocardiogram, the P wave marks atrial depolarisation, the QRS complex marks ventricular depolarisation (the tall R peak with the small preceding Q and following S deflections), and the T wave marks ventricular repolarisation. The QRS complex is large and sharp because the ventricles have a much greater muscle mass than the atria, and it is this e …
