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?
Atrial Depolarization.
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 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
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.
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.
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
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.
