The origin of the '''U wave''' is unknown. This wave possibly results from "afterdepolarizations" of the ventricles.

The letters "Q", "R" and "S" are used to describe the QRS complex
The letters "Q", "R" and "S" are used to describe the QRS complex:
*Q: the first negative deflection after the p-wave. If the first deflection is not negative, the Q is absent.
*Q: the first negative deflection after the p-wave. If the first deflection is not negative, the Q is absent.
*R: the positive deflection
*R: the positive deflection

*R`: is used to describe a second R-wave (as in a [[RBBB|right bundle branch block]])
