The patient’s ECG shows that in the second standard lead from the extremities the P waves are positive, their amplitude is 0,1 mV (norm is 0,05-0,25 mV), duration -0,1 seconds (norm is 0,07-0,10 seconds). It can be concluded that the following process occurs normally in the cardiac atria:
Answer options
- Depolarization
- Contraction
- Relaxation
- Repolarization
- Activation
Correct answer
Depolarization
Explanation
The patient’s ECG shows that in the second standard lead from the extremities the P waves are positive, their amplitude is 0,1 mV (norm is 0,05-0,25 mV), duration -0,1 seconds (norm is 0,07-0,10 seconds). It can be concluded that the following process occurs normally in the cardiac atria:The first deflection is the P wave associated with right and left atrial depolarization. The wave of atrial repolarization is invisible because of low amplitude.
