Transgenic mice are frequently used to investigate the role of genes involved in cardiac conduction. The QRS duration calculated from the electrocardiogram (ECG) is a commonly used measure for ventricular conduction time. However, the relation between ventricular activation and QRS duration calculated from a mouse surface ECG is not well understood. We aim to relate ventricular activation and repolarization patterns with the mouse ECG.
