2.1.27

There are two situations in which the P wave on the body surface ECG is clearly abnormal although the atria are depolarized normally by impulses arising in the sinus node;

               1)   When the limb and/or chest leads are incorrectly applied.

                 2) When the heart is located abnormally within the chest, particularly in   patients with mirror-image dextrocardia.
