Overview
Right atrial enlargement can result from increased pressure in the pulmonary artery. A positive part of the biphasic P wave in lead V1 larger than the negative part indicates right atrial enlargement. The width of the P wave does not change.
EKG in Right atrial enlargement
Right atrial enlargement is defined as either:
-
