EKG P Wave Definition

P wave is the electrical signature of the current that causes atrial contraction - the portion of the EKG tracing that represents depolarization of the atrial myocardium. Initial portion of the P wave is largely a reflection of right atrial depolarization and the terminal portion reflects depolarization of the left atrium.
