Atrial Enlargement most commonly causes peaked, notched, or enlarged P waves on an ECG rhythm strip.
Atrial Enlargement is the enlargement of the atria of the heart.
Atrial Enlargement can be caused due to following reasons:
- Hypertension
- Dysfunction of Mitral valve or Biscuspid valve
- Problems in the left ventricle of heart
Atrial Enlargement can be fatal in severe cases if the cause is not treated over a long period of time.
Atrial Enlargement causes peaked, notched, or enlarged P waves on an ECG rhythm strip.
It signifies events of cardiovascular approaches.
P wave is formed when the atria depolarizes that means it undergoes contraction to allow the blood to flow into the ventricles by increase in the pulmonary atrial pressure inside the atrias.
The duration of the P wave should be about 0.12s.
It extends upto the QRS complex indicating atrial relaxation.
