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.

A body wave that can penetrate the earth's core?
p wave
What is the ECG wave that results from the depolarization of the ventricle?
the P wave
What kind of earthquake wave is purely longitudinal?
The P wave
What happens between the p wave and the s wave if the distance gets longer?
since the p wave is faster it will be ahead of the s wave even though they start at the same place.
Is p wave larger s wave surface wave or tsunamis?
Neither. P and S waves are body waves. Tsunamis are a different matter entirely.
The p wave of a normal electrocardiogram indicates?
The P wave of a normal electrocardiogram represents the depolarization of the atria, which leads to atrial contraction. It is the first upward deflection seen on the ECG tracing and typically precedes the QRS complex. Abnormalities in the P wave can indicate conditions such as atrial enlargement or abnormal conduction pathways in the heart.
On an electrocardiogram tracing atrial activity is represented by the?
p wave
What is the P wave of electrocardiogram closely followed by?
Contraction of both atria
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 duration of a P wave?
The duration of a P wave on an electrocardiogram (ECG) is typically around 0.06 to 0.11 seconds. It represents the electrical activity associated with atrial depolarization in the heart.
Does the first heart sound occurs at the same time as the P wave of the electrocardiogram?
No, the first heart sound (S1) occurs at the start of ventricular systole when the atrioventricular (AV) valves close, while the P wave on an electrocardiogram represents atrial depolarization. So, they do not occur at the exact same time.
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.
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 does the pqrs wave mean?
The PQRS wave represents the electrical activity in the atria of the heart during an electrocardiogram (ECG). The P-wave indicates atrial depolarization, which is the contraction of the atria.
Which wave is the largest in the electrocardiogram?
The largest wave is the R
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.
The p wave corresponds to depolarization of the muscle fibers of the?
The P wave corresponds to atrial depolarization, specifically the spread of electrical impulses through the atria causing them to contract and pump blood into the ventricles. This is the first wave in an electrocardiogram (ECG) and represents the beginning of the cardiac cycle.
