It is generally believed that a human being’s heart and brain are hierarchically connected such that the heart receives the brain’s commands through a central autonomic network. This is what the alpha waves have to do with the heart since they are usually associated with the brain.

Fibers of the cardiac conduction system are what kind of specalized tissue?
Muscle ( cardiac Muscle)
What is automaticity of the heart?
The property that allows any cell in the cardiac muscle to begin an action potential, or a cardiac conduction, leading to cardiac contraction.
Is alpha wave or particle?
Alpha is a particle not a wave. Alpha particle are positively charged helium nuclei and have a +2 charge and 4u mass.
What is an alpha wave?
In neurology, an alpha wave is an electrical signal produced by the brain while the subject is relaxed.
What is slowest conduction velocity?
Referring to cardiac pathways it is found in the AV node.
What initiates the p wave?
cardiac cycle
What is Nonspecific Intraventricular conduction delay?
It is a condition in which there is slowed electrical conduction through a ventricle of the heart; usually secondary to cardiomegaly or cardiac failure
What segment of the cardiac conduction system functions as the pacemaker of the heart?
Sinoatrial (SA) Node
What does The Golden Ratio have in common with the Alpha Wave?
The Gloden Ratio has the act of meditation in comme with the Alpha Wave. In both instances, one must be in an alpha state to fully experience both fully.
What areas of the cardiac conduction system make up the AV junction?
AV node and bundle of His
What happens immediately after the QRS wave of the cardiac cycle?
There are a number of things that may happen during the QRS wave. There will be ventricular depolarization and right after absolute refractory period for ventricles will occur.
Is the p wave part of the cardiac cycle?
Yes - On an ECG the P wave is the first wave of the cardiac cycle. It represents the Sinoatrial node which is the natural pacemaker of the heart firing and causing the atria to contract in order to fill the ventricles.
