The P waves are abnormal, and they are tall, narrow, and peaked inleads II, aVF, and V1-V2. The P-wave morphology is characteristic ofaP pulmonale, a result ofright atrial hypertrophy. This may also betermed...
If you are suspicious ofatrioventricularblock(AV block), map out theatrialrateand theventricularrhythmseparately (i.e. mark the P waves and R waves). As you move along the rhythm strip, you can see if thePR interval changes, ifQRScomplexesaremissingor if there iscompletedissociationbetween the...
What do the segments of the ECG represent? P-wave: Atrial contraction PR interval: Represents the time taken for excitation to spread from the sino-atrial (SA) node across the atrium and down to the ventricular muscle via the bundle of His. ...

Typical ECG displaying the PQRST components. Green arrows indicate the P waves, blue arrows represent the QRS complexes, and red arrows represent the T waves [1] Full size image There are many features and attributes of the ECG signal that can be measured without the use of overly complex fe...
a cardiologist is able to find out if parts of the heart are too large or are overworked.Fig. 8shows a normal ECG heartbeat sample with different meaningful segments, including three important waves showingatrial depolarization (P-wave), ventral depolarization (QRScomplex wave), andrepolarization(...
Review how to read the three primary waves of the heart that are detected in an electrocardiogram (ECG). The flashcards in this set cover the P wave, the QRS wave, and the T wave. You will learn how to differentiate among the three waves, as well as understand what is going on in ...
DIY EEG (and ECG) Circuit: EEGs are a noninvasive way to look into your brain. While the brain is extremely complex, areas of it can lock into circular firing patterns, resulting in telltale brain waves that one can observe with the right equipment. Inte
The reason for the difference in the bandwidths of the two filters is that in the detection phase the rejection of low frequency events, principally T segment waves, and high frequency artifacts is enhanced by a narrower bandwidth. Once a detection has occurred, a wider bandwidth for the ...
nearly periodic and exhibits the well-known P wave, PR interval, QRS complex, S segment, T waves and the rest period [17]. Statistical analysis shows that most of the data samples within a complete ECG cycle have a low range (0-60) and a low standard deviation (18.3), except for ...
