You know, I bet the answer is a combination of all of them. Just turn the volume up to 11 and see what happens. That's how we do it in the real world, right?

Abnormal ST segment? Nah, that's just gonna mess with the ST part, not the QRS. This exam is trying to trick us, I tell ya!

That makes sense, abnormal ST segment could definitely affect the QRS complex.

I think the answer is D) Abnormal ST segment, as it can lead to abnormal depolarization.

Hey guys, what if it's right atrial enlargement? I mean, that could definitely cause some disturbances in the QRS complex, right?

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. Could it be hypokalemia? I remember that can also mess with the electrical signals in the heart.

But wouldn't hypokalemia cause a narrow QRS complex instead?

A wide QRS complex? Definitely got to be option B, defective intraventricular conduction. That's like the textbook answer, right?

I remember learning that abnormal ST segment can also be a cause of a wide QRS complex.
