Oct 8, 2024 · The U wave is a small (0.5 mm) deflection immediately following the T wave, usually in the same direction as the T wave. Best seen leads V2 and V3.

Mar 17, 2025 · The U wave is the wave that begins with the second heart sound and after the T wave returns to the baseline or close to it. 1. It is a low-amplitude and low-frequency deflection …

The U wave is a wave on an electrocardiogram (ECG). It comes after the T wave of ventricular repolarization and may not always be observed as a result of its small size.

U waves are usually best seen in the right precordial leads especially V2 and V3. The normal U wave is asymmetric with the ascending limb moving more rapidly than the descending limb …

Oct 24, 2024 · U wave elevation refers to an abnormality in the ECG where the U wave, which represents the repolarization of the Purkinje fibers, becomes elevated. This elevation can be …

What is a U-wave? • It’s a small wave that follows the T-wave when visible • Not all rhythm strips will show a U-wave. • Generally we don’t measure or chart on a U-wave. • They mostly …

A primary T wave inversion is caused by abnormal repolarization secondary to ischemic damage to the myocardium. A secondary T wave inversion is abnormal repolarization that occurs …

When present, a normal U wave is of low amplitude (less than one fourth the height of the T wave) and has the same polarity as its T wave. When the U wave is abnormally prominent …

Study of U waves exemplifies important clinical role of noninvasive electrocardiography in modern cardiology. Present article highlights significance of U waves with a clinical case and also …

Dec 6, 2015 · A negative U wave is considered to be highly specific for heart disease and is associated with other abnormal findings on ECG in 90% of cases [1]. A discordant U wave …
