- An electrocardiographic criterion of left atrial enlargement is a P wave that is too wide in lead II.
- Dog: P > 0.04 sec
- Cat: P > 0.04 sec
- An electrocardiographic criterion of right atrial enlargement is a P wave that is too tall in lead II.
- Dog: P > 0.4 mv
- Cat: P > 0.2 mv
- An electrocardiographic criterion of biatrial enlargement is a P wave that is too tall and too wide in lead II.
Comment: The sensitivity and specificity of the ECG criteria for atrial enlargement are low.
