Abstract
It is known that the QT interval of the electrocardiogram (ECG) is heart-rate-dependent. Due to physiological aspects, the same can be expected for the PR and the QRS interval. Moreover, it can be hypothesized that the electrical axes are influenced by the body habitus. We wanted to know if these effects can be found in a well defined study group such as young males of a certain age category or whether there is another important correlation.
