Definition
More electrically active tissue: Inc chanber size or thickness
Term
Left Atrial Enlargement
P wave deflection and depolarization?
Definition
Large negative: V1
Notch: II
prolonged depolarization
Term
Right Atrial Enlargement
P-wave deflection and depolarization?
Definition
Tall/peaked: II
Tall positive: V1
depolarization is not prolonged
