Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Graphic record of the electrical activity of the myocardium.
Conduction System
The network of nodes and special pathways in the heart that control and coordinate the timing and sequence of the cardiac cycle (heartbeat).
P Wave
The first wave on an electrocardiogram (ECG) that represents atrial depolarization, indicating the electrical activity that leads to the contraction of the heart's atria.
