Josh A asked:

Can someone please explain to me what causes a-waves, v-waves, and x-descent on the atrial waveform and how are they individually related to the ekg?

    The waves you see are a rythm, they preform their duties in complexes. The QRS comples, from the Snius node in the heart. This is employs the rythm you see on the screen. Normal sinus rythm is most common.
