The atrial electrical signal or P wave is becoming more widely studied because of the large incidence of atrial arrhythmias. There are few reports quantifying the spatial distribution of atrial signal amplitude in the 12-lead ECG. Our aims were to quantify the spatial distribution of atrial signal amplitudes in groups of healthy subjects and patients with atrial fibrillation, and to develop a simple model of atrial depolarisation based on a single dipole. Amplitude was significantly smaller (p < 0.05) in leads I, II, aV R, aVF, V5 and V6, and significantly larger in lead VI in atrial fibrillation compared with those of the healthy group. A single dipole model was able to qualitatively simulate the body surface atrial electrical signal in specific subjects from these groups. © 2004 IEEE.
