During atrial systole, the SA node ( power house for heart to keep on beating) is unable to send signals to ventricles. But heart has some back up power houses which take over, so the ventricles can still keep on beating but at a slower rate than normal during atrial asystole.

identify the portion of the ECG that represents the electrcal activity associated with atrial systole.
ventricular systole
The ventricles of heart have two states: systole(contraction) and diastole (relaxation). During diastole blood fills the ventricles and during systole the blood is pushed out of the heart into the arteries. The auricles contract anti-phase to the ventricles and chiefly serve to optimally fill the ventricles with blood.http://www.answers.com/systole
The SA node makes the action potential for the heart. Atrial systole must occur after the action potential.
Atrial systole -- The atrium contracts, then the ventricle.
70% the remaining 30% is pushed into the ventricles during atrial systole
Relaxation = Diastole Contraction of the atria=Atrial systole Contraction of the ventricles = Ventricular systole
The atria contract during the cardiac cycle's atrial systole phase, which occurs just before the ventricles contract. This contraction helps push blood from the atria into the ventricles, completing the filling of the ventricles before they contract during ventricular systole. Atrial contraction is facilitated by electrical signals from the sinoatrial (SA) node, ensuring synchronized heart function.

The time interval of atrial systole is typically around 0.1 seconds, representing the contraction of the atria to push blood into the ventricles. This phase occurs during the cardiac cycle as part of the heart's pumping action.
The phase of the cardiac cycle in which the atria contract is called atrial systole. This occurs during the P wave on an ECG and helps to push blood from the atria into the ventricles.
ventricular systole
The ventricles of heart have two states: systole(contraction) and diastole (relaxation). During diastole blood fills the ventricles and during systole the blood is pushed out of the heart into the arteries. The auricles contract anti-phase to the ventricles and chiefly serve to optimally fill the ventricles with blood.http://www.answers.com/systole
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.
