  2. Junctional rhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junctional_rhythm

    The most obvious abnormal finding will be abnormal P waves. One of three options can occur: [12] 1. There are no P waves. This is because of either failure of retrograde flow to the atria or the P wave is hidden in the QRS. If the P wave is hidden that implies the atria depolarize at the same time as the ventricles. 2.

  3. P wave (electrocardiography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_wave_(electrocardiography)

    P-wave changes in left and right atrial hypertrophy. Bifid P waves (known as P mitrale) indicate left-atrial abnormality - e.g. dilatation [6] or hypertrophy. [1] If at least three different shaped P waves can be seen in a given ECG lead tracing, this implies that even if one of them arises from the SA node, at least two others are arising ...

  4. Sinoventricular conduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinoventricular_conduction

    On electrocardiogram (ECG), there will be no P wave due to the inactivation of the atrial muscles. [1] Hyperkalemia can lead to sinoventricular conduction, as evidenced on ECG by the P waves becoming flatter and flatter and eventually disappearing. The impulse from the sinus node is still conducted via the internodal tracts to the AV node, and ...

  5. Electrocardiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography

    The P wave is typically upright in most leads except for aVR; an unusual P wave axis (inverted in other leads) can indicate an ectopic atrial pacemaker. If the P wave is of unusually long duration, it may represent atrial enlargement. Typically a large right atrium gives a tall, peaked P wave while a large left atrium gives a two-humped bifid P ...

  6. Rhythm interpretation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm_interpretation

    Ventricular tachycardia is a regular rhythm with a rate of 140-250 bpm, there are no P waves and the main feature is a wide QRS complex (0.12 and greater) Ventricular fibrillation has no p waves or QRS complexes, there are only wavy irregular deflections throughout the heart rhythm, at this point the heart would have a rate of 0 and be ...

  7. Ebstein's anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebstein's_anomaly

    A 12-lead ECG of a woman with Ebstein's anomaly: The ECG shows signs of right atrial enlargement, best seen in V1. Other P waves are broad and tall, these are termed "Himalayan" P waves. Also, a right bundle-branch block pattern and a first-degree atrioventricular block (prolonged PR-interval) due to intra-atrial conduction delay are seen.

  8. Atrioventricular block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrioventricular_block

    Third-degree AV block occurs when the signal between the atria and ventricles is completely blocked, and there is no communication between the two. None of the signals from the upper chambers make it to the lower chambers. On ECG, there is no relationship between P waves and QRS complexes, meaning the P waves and QRS complexes are not in a 1:1 ...

  9. Sinoatrial arrest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinoatrial_arrest

    Atrial escape (rate 60–80): originates within atria, not sinus node (normal P morphology is lost). Junctional escape (rate 40–60): originates near the AV node; a normal P wave is not seen, may occasionally see a retrograde P wave. Ventricular escape (rate 20–40): originates in ventricular conduction system; no P wave, wide, abnormal QRS.
