Want this question answered?
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).
Atrial fibrillation, svt , or a junctional rhythm
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.
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.

T waves
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.
Atrial flutter-- Rapid, inefficient contraction of the upper chamber of the heart.
It represents the energy from the heart starting in the Sino-atrial node.
Sometimes an individual can feel their heart is not beating properly - they may feel faint or have an odd sensation in their chest. However, a heart arrhythmia such as atrial fibrillation can only be diagnosed through a 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.
