The Prototypical ECG Tracing. The P wave corresponds to electrical impulse traveling through the atria. This is synonymous with atrial depolarization and usually corresponds with atrial contraction. The QRS complex corresponds to the depolarization of the left and right ventricles. It generally corresponds to the contraction of the ventricles.
