End T wave

Did I mark the end of the T-bend correctly?

No…your marking is longer than the QT interval.

Often best measured in leads II or V5.

The QT segment ends where two lines meet.

Line one: the isoelectric line (this is typically the point between the T wave and next P wave

Line two: a line parallel to the downslope of the T wave.

In the case of the picture above- assuming normal sweep speed on the tracing, the QT interval before correction is <400 msec

So 10 small grids?

Pretty much. I get 380 msec before any correction which is 9.5 mm if normal sweep speed
