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.
T wave. The T wave represents ventricular repolarization and is longer in duration than depolarization (i.e., conduction of the repolarization wave is slower than the wave of depolarization). Sometimes a small positive U wave may be seen following the T wave (not shown in figure at top of page).he different waves that comprise the ECG represent the sequence of depolarization and repolarization of the atria and ventricles. The ECG is recorded at a speed of 25 mm/sec, and the voltages are calibrated so that 1 mV = 10 mm in the vertical direction.
