  P pulmonale: It is reflected by the presence of tall- and peaked P waves in leads II, III and aVF. The amplitude is more than 2.5 mm. It is called P pulmonale because it occurs frequently due to pulmonary hypertension (Fig. 5.1a, b). 2. [yourarticlelibrary.com]

  Right atrial abnormality increases the amplitude of the initial P-wave forces, contrasting with increase in the later P-wave forces that can result from left atrial abnormality (pseudo-P pulmonale). [ahajournals.org]
