P-Q interval.

My comment:

This is not a common term. Cardiologists would normally refer to the P-R interval, when talking, for instance, about heart block. The longer the interval, the greater the degree of block. But you could talk about the P-Q interval, e.g. in someone who has an old infarct with pathological Q-waves where there would be NO R-wave. My best reference work for ECGs would be "Understanding the Electrocardiogram" by Derek J. Rowlands.

PQ

My comment:

P, as well as Q, and R and S are international scientific denominations for the waves corresponding to the depolarization of the ventricles.
For a more complex explanation, you can consult: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiogram

PQ is equivalent to PR : In case a Q wave was measured with a ECG the PR interval is also commonly named PQ interval instead (same source as above)

P-Q wave

My comment:

This is the P-Q wave shown o an ECG. I specialise in cardiology translation.
