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).

To evaluate a clients atrial depolarization the nurse observes witch part of an EKG?
On the EKG readout the P Wave represents atrial depolarization. For a healthy person it should be smooth, round and upright, and preceding the QRS complex.
What does a P wave record on an EKG?
The P wave represents atrial depolarization (they contract). In a normal EKG, the P-wave precedes the QRS complex. It looks like a small bump upwards from the baseline.
Depolarization of the atria corresponds directly to the EKG's?
P wave
Immediately before the P wave?
The P wave represents atrial depolarization in an ECG, so it occurs just before the P wave on the ECG tracing. It signifies the activation of the atria as they prepare to contract and pump blood into the ventricles.
What wave of the EKG occurs during depolarization of the ventricle?
QRS
What causes there to be no p wave on an EKG?
The absence of a P wave on an EKG could indicate an issue with the electrical impulse formation in the atria of the heart, such as in atrial fibrillation where the atria are not depolarizing in a coordinated manner. Other possible causes include atrial flutter, junctional rhythm, or ectopic atrial beats. Further evaluation by a healthcare professional is necessary to determine the underlying cause.
What does a change in the a wave of an ekg mean?
The only EKG waves are P, Q, R, S, T, and U (abnormal). Actually, there are other waves. The "A" , "C", and "V" waves are found on the EKG during atrial filling or DIASTOLE. The "A" wave is the result of the atrial contraction and can be found in the PR interval. This "A" wave is a type of fluid volume indicator, the more the atrium fill, the higher this wave will be.
Amplitude of the various waves in different cardiac cycles?
The amplitude of waves in different cardiac cycles includes the P-wave, which represents atrial depolarization, the QRS complex, which shows ventricular depolarization, and the T-wave, indicating ventricular repolarization. The amplitude of each wave can vary depending on factors such as heart rate, age, and overall heart health. Additionally, significant changes in wave amplitudes may indicate cardiac abnormalities.
What is the normal calibration for a EKG?
An abnormal ECG is when the electrocardiogram shows results outside the norm. These results are usually indicative of problems in the heart, such as enlargement, higher potassium or sodium levels, damage, and inflammation.
What part of an ECG represents ventricular depolarization?
Okay so an EKG show the electrical impulse that travels through the heart. What I mean is EKG don't show contraction. However the QRS complex represent ventricular depolarization, which signals ventricular contraction
What is ventricle depolarization?
Type your answer here... abnormally slow depolarization of the ventricles would most change the shape of the ?in an ekg tracing
What does QRS wave represent in a EKG?
P wave represent the electrical impulse across the right and left atrium. It travels across the atrial wall. Qrs complex indicates the electrical impulse through the myocardial ventricles. It travels through the bundle of HIS (GOD), right and left bundle branches and then across the right and left ventricular walls.
