The spaces/boxes between QRS complexes vary throughout the irregular rhythm
strip. If there are 4 large boxes between the first QRSs, the HR is 75 (300/4=75). If
there are large 2 boxes between the next two QRSs, the rate is 150 (300/2=150).
How to calculate an irregular ventricular Then, if there are 3 large boxes between the next QRSs, the rate is 100
rate (300/3=100). So each calculation is different with an irregular rate and the 'overall'

Most of the heart's electrical forces are aimed downward and toward the left (toward
Normally, the majority of cardiac electrical the LL electrode) because this direction is toward the LV which is the largest and
activity travels to the electrode placed on hardest-working chamber (so it needs the most electrical force to depolarize).
