U Wave • LITFL Medical Blog • ECG Library Basics
WEBFeb 4, 2021 · U wave is a small deflection after the T wave in ECG, usually in the same direction as the T wave. U wave is influenced by heart rate, potassium level, and left ventricular hypertrophy, and may be inverted in cardiac ischaemia.

U wave - Wikipedia
WEBU wave is a small wave on an electrocardiogram that may represent repolarization of the Purkinje fibers or other structures. It can be affected by various factors, such as heart rate, electrolytes, drugs, and coronary artery disease.
ECG Essentials - The T and U Waves
WEBLearn about the normal and abnormal features of the T and U waves on the ECG, which represent ventricular repolarization. Understand the concepts of T wave polarity, concordance, axis, and transmural dispersion of repolarization (TDR).
