P wave
Atrial depolarization occurs at the P wave. The atrial contraction occurs at the peak of the wave at the influx of calcium ions to prolong depolarization.
A "p" wave is a particular point on an electrocardiogram tracing. It represents the contraction of the right and left atria. The electrocardiogram tracing is a tool that the physician uses to evaluate the health of the heart.
The P wave on ECG corresponds to electrical depolarization of the atria. It should be positive in lead II and negative in aVR when the P wave originates in the sinoatrial node.
P wave
The p wave on a heart telemetry monitor represents the depolarization of the atria of the heart.
The contraction of any peart of heart in ecg is known as polarization. Eg contraction of atria is known as polarization of atria
In cardiovascular health, heart valves are located between atria and ventricles in the heart. The valves will open significantly during the atrial depolarization, or contraction of the atria. During the subsequent re-polarization of the atria and depolarization of ventricles, the valves are pushed in the opposite direction and shut closed. This mechanism allows the flow of blood in one single direction only, from atria to ventricle.
the repolarization of the atria is hidden by the QRS wave
Sinoatrial node
Contraction of the ventricles and atria is called systole. Relaxation is called diastole.
Contraction of both atria
Relaxation = Diastole Contraction of the atria=Atrial systole Contraction of the ventricles = Ventricular systole
