The only EKG waves are P, Q, R, S, T, and U (abnormal). Actually, there are other waves. The "A" , "C", and "V" waves are found on the EKG during atrial filling or DIASTOLE. The "A" wave is the result of the atrial contraction and can be found in the PR interval. This "A" wave is a type of fluid volume indicator, the more the atrium fill, the higher this wave will be.

When will a V wave be seen on the normal EKG tracing?
Yes, a V wave will be seen on a normal EKG tracing. A V wave can signal a lot of things in an EKG, but what it means will be up to the person reading the EKG and the person's reason for the EKG.
What is represented by the largest wave or curve on an EKG?
by largest, I'll assume tallest. the tallest wave on an EKG is called the QRS complex and represents the contraction of the left ventricle. btw tallest could also mean lowest depending on the particular ekg lead.
What does a P wave record on an EKG?
The P wave represents atrial depolarization (they contract). In a normal EKG, the P-wave precedes the QRS complex. It looks like a small bump upwards from the baseline.
I had a heart attack in my widow makernow my heart flip flops sometimesy and what is a flip wave ekg-?
There is nothing like flip wave ekg. Please rephrase your question.
Depolarization of the atria corresponds directly to the EKG's?
P wave
Why does an ekg change within 4 months?
A change in an EKG means that there is some sort of problem with the heart.
The vertical axis of the ecg paper measures?
EKG paper is a grid where time is measured along the horizontal axis, of EKG graph paper and where to measure the components of the EKG wave form.
What is r t segment?
The R-T segment is the portion of the EKG tracing from the R wave to the T wave.
What wave of the EKG occurs during depolarization of the ventricle?
QRS
What causes there to be no p wave on an EKG?
Atrial fibrillation, svt , or a junctional rhythm
What lead normally produces P wave and a predominately negative QRS on the EKG?
vi
I had a heart attack in my widow makernow my heart flip flops sometimesy and what is a flip wave ekg?
If you have had a heart attack and have flip waves in your EKG, it means your EKG is abnormal. Inverted waves are a sign that you have ischemia which means there is a decrease in O2.
