A U-wave is a wave which occurs after the T-wave. It can be made prominent by certain pathologies, particularly certain electrolyte imbalances, but research within the past decade or so has found that it is an essentially normal phenomenon which results from differences in the time it takes various types of cardiac cells to repolarize.

Which wave is the largest in the electrocardiogram?
The largest wave is the R
The p wave of a normal electrocardiogram indicates?
Atrial Depolarization.
On an electrocardiogram tracing atrial activity is represented by the?
p wave
What is required for the interpretation of the electrocardiogram?
Special training is required for interpretation of the electrocardiogram. To summarize in the simplest manner the features used in interpretations, the P wave of the electrocardiogram is associated with the contraction of the atria
What is the P wave of electrocardiogram closely followed by?
Contraction of both atria
The T wave in a electrocardiogram results from?
Repolarization of ventricular muscle fibers.
Does the first heart sound occurs at the same time as the P wave of the electrocardiogram?
yes
What are pea waves?
A "p" wave is a particular point on an electrocardiogram tracing. It represents the contraction of the right and left atria. The electrocardiogram tracing is a tool that the physician uses to evaluate the health of the heart.
What is the duration of a P wave?
The P wave refers to the electrocardiographic representation of electrical activation of the atrial myocardium. It can be measured using an electrocardiogram.
What would you see on the Electrocardiogram if the SA node did not fire?
An electrocardiogram would show reduced heart rate as other parts of the heart cause potentials at low rates. Also there would be no P wave.
What generates the p wave of an electrocardiogram?
A P wave denotes atrial depolarization or when your atriacontracts. It is generated by the Sinoatrial (SA) node which is the primary pacemaker and signifies a Sinus Rhythm.
The p wave of the electrocardiogram is a signal from?
The P wave on ECG corresponds to electrical depolarization of the atria. It should be positive in lead II and negative in aVR when the P wave originates in the sinoatrial node.
