  2. P wave (electrocardiography) - Wikipedia

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

    Peaked P waves (> 0.25 mV) suggest right atrial enlargement, cor pulmonale, (P pulmonale rhythm), [1] but have a low predictive value (~20%). [2] A P wave with increased amplitude can indicate hypokalemia. [3] It can also indicate right atrial enlargement. [4] A P wave with decreased amplitude can indicate hyperkalemia. [5] P-wave changes in ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Sinus rhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinus_rhythm

    Normal heart rate (classically 60 to 100 beats per minute for an adult). Regular rhythm, with less than 0.16-second variation in the shortest and longest durations between successive P waves; The sinus node should pace the heart – therefore, P waves must be round, all the same shape, and present before every QRS complex in a ratio of 1:1.

  5. Normal shock tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_shock_tables

    In aerodynamics, the normal shock tables are a series of tabulated data listing the various properties before and after the occurrence of a normal shock wave. [1] With a given upstream Mach number , the post-shock Mach number can be calculated along with the pressure , density , temperature , and stagnation pressure ratios.

  6. Rhythm interpretation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm_interpretation

    A wandering atrial pacemaker can be either normal or irregular in rate, much like a sinus arrhythmia the rate is normally between 60 - 100 bpm when it is normal and less than 60 when it is slow, the distinguishing feature of this rhythm is a p wave that varies in size, shape, and direction, the PR interval can either be normal or irregular ...

  7. Cardiac cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_cycle

    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. [1] [2] The Cardiac Cycle: Valve Positions, Blood Flow, and ECG The parts of a QRS complex and adjacent ...

  8. P wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_wave

    A P wave (primary wave or pressure wave) is one of the two main types of elastic body waves, called seismic waves in seismology. P waves travel faster than other seismic waves and hence are the first signal from an earthquake to arrive at any affected location or at a seismograph. P waves may be transmitted through gases, liquids, or solids.
