What does a inverted QRS wave indicate?
In QRS wave, P wave shows atrial contraction or depolarisation whereas, T wave shows ventricular repolarisation.
What do p waves indicate during an earthquake?
A P-wave travels through the inner earth and records conspicuous waves within.
Does the p wave in an ekg indicate atrial depolarization?
No it does not. Atrial repolarization is generally not visible on the telemetry strip because it happens at the same time as ventricular depolarization (QRS complex). The P wave represents atrial DEpolarization (and atrial systole). Atrial repolarization happens during atrial diastole (and ventricular systole).
Which is faster an s-wave or a p-wave?
P-Wave
The p wave of a normal electrocardiogram indicates?
The P wave of a normal electrocardiogram represents the depolarization of the atria, which leads to atrial contraction. It is the first upward deflection seen on the ECG tracing and typically precedes the QRS complex. Abnormalities in the P wave can indicate conditions such as atrial enlargement or abnormal conduction pathways in the heart.
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
What does a segment of an ECG tracing indicate?
P waves represent the atrial depolarization. QRS complex represent the ventricular depolarization. T waves represent the ventricular repolarization.
Which type of body wave always arrives after the P-wave?
The S-wave, or secondary wave, always arrives after the P-wave. S-waves are slower than P-waves and are the second wave to arrive during an earthquake.
Which wave the p-wave or s-wave would arrive at seismometer afer the eatrhquake?
Both, first the P wave Then the S wave.
What type of seismic wave that compresses and expands the ground?
Longitudinal Waves
Is a P-wave a seismic wave?
Yes. P-waves are known as primary waves and are a compressional or longitudinal wave.
What is the fasts wave?
They call it the Primary wave or a P-wave
