Ophthalmologists can play a pivotal role in detection and treatment of life-threatening disorders by recognizing syndromes associated with retinal tumors.

The P wave in the ECG represents atrial depolarization, which results in atrial contraction.
In addition to the wave components of the ECG, there are intervals and segments. An interval is part of the ECG containing at least one wave and a straight line. For example, the PR interval includes the P wave and the connecting line before the QRS complex. The PR interval represents the time it takes for the impulse sent from the SA node to travel to the ventricles.
