The first wave (p wave) represents atrial depolarisation. When the valves between the atria and ventricles open, 70% of the blood in the atria falls through with the aid of gravity, but mainly due to suction caused by the ventricles as they expand. - https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/nursing/practice/resources/card...

May be intermittent, alternating with periods of normal sinus rhythm. - https://ecg.utah.edu/lesson/5-2#:~:text=Discrete, multifocal...
