Which Waveform Represents Atrioventricular Conduction?

This electrical signal is recorded as the P wave on the ECG. The PR Interval is the time, in seconds, from the beginning of the P wave to the beginning of the QRS complex

QRS complex
It is usually the central and most visually obvious part of the tracing. It corresponds to the depolarization of the right and left ventricles of the heart and contraction of the large ventricular muscles. In adults, the QRS complex normally lasts 80 to 100 ms; in children it may be shorter.

. The electrical signal passes from the atria to the ventricles through the atrioventricular (AV) node (2).

What represents AV nodal conduction?

The atrioventricular node or AV node is a part of the electrical conduction system of the heart that coordinates the top of the heart. It electrically connects the atria and ventricles.

What does P wave represent?

The P wave represents the electrical depolarization of the atria. In a healthy person, this originates at the sinoatrial node (SA node) and disperses into both left and right atria.
