On the EKG readout the P Wave represents atrial depolarization. For a healthy person it should be smooth, round and upright, and preceding the QRS complex.

Does the p wave in an ekg indicate atrial depolarization?
No it does not. Atrial repolarization is generally not visible on the telemetry strip because it happens at the same time as ventricular depolarization (QRS complex). The P wave represents atrial DEpolarization (and atrial systole). Atrial repolarization happens during atrial diastole (and ventricular systole).
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.
The p wave of a normal electrocardiogram indicates?
Atrial Depolarization.
What part of an ecg do atria contract?
Atrial depolarization occurs at the P wave. The atrial contraction occurs at the peak of the wave at the influx of calcium ions to prolong depolarization.
What is atrial repolarization indicated by?
The atrial repolarization occurs during the QRS complex of the ECG but is obscured by the ventricle depolarization.
What part of the ECG complex represents the atrial depolarization?
The P wave.
What wave form does Right and left atrial depolarization produce?
Qrs complex
What does P wave forms reflect?
A P wave reflects atrial depolarization.
In an ecg pattern the p wave is caused by what?
depolarization of atrial muscle fibers
The QRS complex in an electrocardiogram results from?
An Electrocardiogram of a single heart beat shows three distinct waves. These are the P, QRS and T Waves. The QRS wave (normally the largest spike) in the electrocardiogram, is that of the ventricles depolarizing and contracting.
How many beats per minute would result in flutter?
Atrial Flutter is characterized by rapid depolarization of a single atrial focus at a rate of 250-350 BMP
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.
