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.
With either of these rhythms, if the ventricular rate is fast, the fibrillatory or flutter waves can easily be misinterpreted as P waves. Absence of the P wave with a flat baseline may indicate: Fine atrial fibrillation [1] Sinoatrial arrest (with a secondary escape rhythm) If P waves are not clearly delineated in the surface ECG, a Lewis lead ...

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 ...
On an EKG, junctional tachycardia exhibits the following classic criteria: [2] P-Waves: The p-wave may be inverted in leads II, III and aVF or may not be visible; Narrow QRS complexes (which is consistent with arrhythmias that conduct through the ventricles using the His-Purkinje system and often originate from the atria or AV junction.)

This simultaneous contraction results in the P wave seen in an ECG tracing. [citation needed] The electrical signal then travels to the AV node located on the lower portion of the interatrial septum. At the AV node there is a delay in the electrical signal, which allows the atria to contract and blood to flow from the atria to the ventricles.
The cycle also correlates to key electrocardiogram tracings: the T wave (which indicates ventricular diastole); the P wave (atrial systole); and the QRS 'spikes' complex (ventricular systole)—all shown as color purple-in-black segments.
