*A P-top (atrial contraction) ''gaat vooraf aan'' the QRS complex
*A P-wave (atrial contraction) precedes the QRS complex
*Every P follows a QRS complex
*Every P is followed by a QRS complex
*The rhythm is regular, but varies slightly while breathing
*The rhythm is regular, but varies slightly while breathing
*The frequency is between 60 and 100 beats per minute
*The frequency ranges between 60 and 100 beats per minute
*The P-top's maximum height is 2.5mm in II and/or III
*The P-waves maximum height is 2.5mm in II and/or III
*The P-top is positive in I and II, and biphasic in V1
*The P-wave is positive in I and II, and biphasic in V1
