Medical: Cardiology
EKG
Ich weiss, was es ist (glaube ich zumindest) und ich weiss, wie es aussieht - das alles habe ich gefunden. Was ich nicht gefunden habe ist der englische Ausdruck dafuer. Kann es so einfach wie 'left-atrial p-wave' sein? Mir gefaellt das nicht, weil es sich so anhoert, als ob das die p-Welle des linken Ventrikels ist - oder ist das tatsaechlich der Fall? Waere sehr dankbar fuer Eure Hilfe!
Ach ja, der Kontext: Ein Arzt/Krankenhausbericht. Der Satz: Bei im EKG aufgefallenen p sinistroatriale bitten wir um eine ambulante kardiologische Wiedervorstellung zur weiteren Abklaerung.
Danke!

The German term does not refer to the 'left atrial P wave' per se but to a specific anomaly of it called "p sinistroatriale" which is "P-sinistrocardiale" in English

left atrial P wave
...
e.g.
In order to assess the left atrial (LA) P wave and to define LAR, the P wave and loop were studied by direct LA pacing in 11 patients undergoing diagnostic transseptal left heartcatheterization. Experimental LAR produced changes in P-wave configuration and polarity.
http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/37/6/1000.full.pdf
In left atrial abnormality left atrial depolarization lasts longer than normal but its amplitude remains unchanged. Therefore, the height of the resultant P wave remains within normal limits but its duration is longer than120 ms. A notch (broken line) near its peak may or may not be present.
http://www.medicine-on-line.com/html/ecg/e0001en_files/11.ht...
Left atrial P wave abnormalities occur in adults (Figure 18-19), and right atrial P wave abnormalities occur in symptomatic infants (Figure 8-20).
https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=8q522N73IR8C&pg=PA114&lp... (p. 114 - Electrocardiogram)
A study has been made of serial electrocardiograms of patients with mitral stenosis in sinus rhythm, whose clinical progress was followed for at least four years after mitral valvotomy. The behaviour of the left atrial P wave after operation has been examined with special reference to its relationship to continued clinical progress.

Interatrial conduction time, defined as the time from the right atrial pacing pulse or intrinsic P to the onset of left atrial P wave, and P wave sensing delay cause a shorter left heart AV interval during atrial pacing-ventricular sensing and atrial sense-ventricular pace. Interventricular conduction time (the time from the right ventricular pacing pulse to the onset of left ventricular depolarization), lengthens left heart AV interval during atrial sensing-ventricular pacing.

P mitrale, bifid P waves, WNPW (wide notched P waves), broad notched P waves
...some more options to choose from ;-)
Bifid P waves (known as P mitrale) indicate left-atrial abnormality - e.g. dilatation or hypertrophy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_wave_(electrocardiography)
P-mitrale: broad, notched P waves in II and AVF (greater than 2.5 millimeters wide or 100 milliseconds duration)

vielleicht "erroneously, aber immerhin "often" (etwa 16000x in terms of G-hits, vs. 1370 – darunter etliche nicht-englische – für P sinistrocardiale ;-)
