As a medical professional with expertise in cardiology, I can provide you with information regarding P waves. P waves, which are a part of the electrocardiogram (ECG), represent atrial depolarization. Normally, P waves are upright in leads I, II, and the inferior leads (III, aVF). However, it is possible for P waves to be inverted under certain conditions.
If the P wave is inverted, it is most likely an ectopic atrial rhythm not originating from the sinus node. Altered P wave morphology is seen in left or right atrial enlargement. The PTa segment can be used to diagnose pericarditis or atrial infarction.
