Does the first heart sound occurs at the same time as the P wave of the electrocardiogram?
yes
What is a p wave?
A p wave is the primary or compression wave in a seismic wave. it's wavy
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
Which type of body wave always arrives after the P-wave?
The next type of seismic wave to arrive after the P-wave is the S-wave.
What does P wave forms reflect?
A P wave reflects atrial depolarization.
On an electrocardiogram tracing atrial activity is represented by the?
p wave
The p wave of a normal electrocardiogram indicates?
Atrial Depolarization.
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 P wave refers to the electrocardiographic representation of electrical activation of the atrial myocardium. It can be measured using an electrocardiogram.
Does the first heart sound occurs at the same time as the P wave of the electrocardiogram?
yes
What generates the p wave of an electrocardiogram?
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.
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 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 peaks and valleys of the electrical activity of the heart are?
The first little bump is the P wave it is followed by the QRS Complex that's the big spike and that is followed by the T wave which is a bigger bump than the P wave... normally that's only in a normal Sinus Rhythm
The p in an electrocardiogram sHow is what?
The P wave is the first wave in an ECG complex, and it results from the atria depolarizing. It may not be present in arrhythmias where the atria do not necessarily depolarize, such as junctional or ventricular escape rhythms, and at times when the atria are depolarizing abnormally this will be reflected in the P wave's replacement by abnormal waves, such as the low-amplitude "squiggle" seen in atrial fibrillation, or the "sawtooth" pattern seen in atrial flutter.
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.
