No, those are not P waves. They are ventricular complexes that have a very, very small amplitude. The cause of the low amplitude is beyond the scope of this book. A full 12-lead ECG did, however, verify the ventricular origin of these complexes. The rate of 80 BPM, the wide QRS complexes, and the regularity of the rhythm make this a clear example of an accelerated idioventricular rhythm.
