The p wave on an ecg is described as a positive deflection that corresponds to what?

The P wave corresponds to the atrial contraction... the 'beat' of the upper chambers of the heart.
The QRS complex correponds to the ventricular contractoins.. the 'beat' of the other two chambers.
The T wave represents relaxation of the heart muscle.

Why is the T wave positive in the ECG?
The T wave is positive in an ECG due to the direction and charge. This positive deflection occurs after each QRS complex.
When is the heart described as showing arrhythmia or dysrhythmia?
when time intervals between waves, or the order or the number of waves do not fit the normal pattern described above. Other features that may be altered include the direction of wave deflection and wave widths
What is the characteristic of a sound wave that corresponds to loudness?
The bigger the troughs of the sound wave and height of the wave corresponds to the loudness the higher the wave the louder the sound.
What are the basic types of wave interaction?
deflection
What is a change in the direction of a wave?
Reflection or deflection.
What are the main events recorded by an ecg?
The P-wave corresponds to atrial depolarisation.The QRS complex corresponds to ventricular depolarisation.The T-wave corresponds to ventricular repolarisation.
What are four basic types of wave interactions?
deflection
What features of light corresponds to loudness in sound?
The property is the amplitude, which corresponds to loudness for a sound wave or brightness for a light wave.
A in a transverse wave corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave?
CREST
The portion of the ECG that corresponds to atrial depolarization is the?
The portion of the ECG that corresponds to atrial depolarization is called the P wave. The P wave is the first wave on the ECG.
Which letter corresponds to the amplitude of the wave?
A
What is a deflection wave?
A shockwave is an example of a deflection wave because it diverts (a twist when viewed from a position perpendicular to the plane of the input and output flows) a normal flow of a fluid around an obstacle or moving object that has breached a transitional speed barrier (eg. speed of sound).
