What is it called when there are no QRS waves following p waves?

The QRS complex and the P wave are features of the electrocardiogram, which graphically displays the electrical activity of the heart. The P wave is generated when the atria, or upper chambers of the heart contract. The QRS complex is generated when the ventricles or lower chambers of the heart contract. If there is a P wave but no QRS, the the heart's main pump is not functioning. This would cause death quickly.

Why is the R wave taller than the P wave on the ECG graph cycle?
The QRS complex is normally larger than the P Wave because depolarization of the larger muscle mass of the ventricles generates more voltage than does depolarization of the smaller muscle mass of the atria
What happens in the cardiac cycle after the p wave?
The T wave on an ECG reading is the last wave in the cycle, and it represents the repolarisation of the heart. This means that the ventricles have just contracted sending blood around the body, and the heart is now 'resetting' itself ready for the next cycle.
What is baseline in ECG?
i think it's PR segment and not the PR interval because PR segment contains a straight line right after P wave offset which works best as a baseline for QRS complex, you can also use ST segment for the same purpose
A symbiotic relationship in which both organisms benefit is called what?
I think its called mutualism :P
What is a white thing growing in your mouth called?
There are many red things in your mouth. Your tongue is the large muscle in your mouth, and the uvula is the red ball that hangs in the back of your throat. Your gums are also a kind of red or pink.
What rhythm has 3 p waves for every qrs?
3p+ equals the amount of khars in a world
Does a ventricular rhythm have p waves?
Ventricular depolarization and repolarization are represented by the qrs complex and the t wave.
What do the letters PQRST represent?
P, Q, R, S and T each represent a wave of the electrocardiogram (ECG). The waves, and the ECG in general, confer a graphic representation of the hearth's electric activity. The ECG of a healthy person usually contains three waves, called the P wave, the QRS complex and the T wave. The P wave corresponds to the electric depolarization of the auricles, the QRS complex corresponds to the electric depolarization of the ventricles and the repolarization of the auricles, and the T wave corresponds to the electric repolarization of the ventricles. A complete period of an ECG (that is, the P, QRS, and T waves) represents the electrical activity of the heart for one pulse.
What does a segment of an ECG tracing indicate?
P waves represent the atrial depolarization. QRS complex represent the ventricular depolarization. T waves represent the ventricular repolarization.
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.
What is Four more than p?
p (qrs) t
What is the correct order of ECG waves?
P wave - represents atrial depolarization (contraction) QRS complex - ventricular depolarization T wave - ventricular repolarization (relaxation) atrial repolarization is "buried" within the QRS Complex
If there is a complete block between the SA node and the AV node how would the ECG be affected?
The rate of P waves will be faster than the rate of QRS complexes.
What does the S wave and P wave stand for?
P waves are primary waves and S waves are called secondary waves
What types of waves are p waves and s waves called?
seismic waves
When do P waves arrive at the surface in relation to S waves?
when the P waves arrive at the surface in relation to s waves and surface waves is called the promary waves.
What waves are that travel outward from the epicenter are called?
P waves
