Left Atrial Enlargement Left atrial enlargement (LAE) is due to pressure or volume overload of the left atrium. LAE is often a precursor to atrial fibrillation. Also known as: Left Atrial Enlargement (LAE), Left atrial hypertrophy (LAH), left atrial abnormality. P wave changes with Left Atrial Enlargement ECG Criteria for Left Atrial Enlargement LAE produces a broad, bifid P wave in lead II (P mitrale) and enlarges the terminal negative portion of the P wave in V1. ...

P Wave Overview The P wave is the first positive deflection on the ECG and represents atrial depolarisation. The P wave is the first positive deflection on the ECG It represents atrial depolarisation Normal duration: < 0.12 s (< 120ms or 3 small squares) Characteristics of the Normal Sinus P Wave Morphology Smooth contour Monophasic in lead II Biphasic in V1 Axis ...
