Solution

The correct option is C

QRS complex


QRS complex corresponds to the ventricular systole of cardiac cycle. Heart rate is the number of cardiac cycles per minute. Counting the number of QRS complexes appearing on the ECG recording corresponding to the duration of one minute, one can easily ascertain the number of heart beats.
