P Wave Page 2

  • The P wave(a) represents right(b) and left(c) atrial depolarization.
  • Since the right and left atriums depolarize almost simultaneously their waves are superimposed into one wave on the monitor.

P Mitrale Page 3

  • P Mitrale is an "M" shaped P wave(a) produced from an enlarged left atrium(b).
