right atrial enlargement
RIGHT ATRIAL ENLARGEMENT (RAE)
– P – pulmonale peaked P wave with amplitude greater than .25 (2.5 mm) mv in leads II, III, AVF and greater than .1 mv in leads V1 & V2
– P wave has a slight rightward axis

RIGHT ATRIAL Abnormality (overload) (RAE)
– P
– pulmonale peaked P wave with amplitude greater than .25 (2.5 mm) mv in leads II, III AVF and greater than .1 mv in leads V1 & V2
– P wave has a slight rightward axis
right atrial enlargement
RAE
p wave tall, pointed; taller in III than in I
RAE, pulmonale
p wave wide, notched; taller in I than in III
P – mitrale
– 2nd half of P wave negative in V1 or III
the most common intraventricular conduction defects.
