Trenes

Hello everyone,
I'm having trouble finding the English term for "trenes" in the context of ECG test results (ES/MEX > EN/US).
Here it is in context:
"La hiperventilación genera trenes cortos de ondas agudas y puntas en regiones frontales."
Any ideas on this one?
Thanks in advance!
Paul

I'd use either this or "patterns", unless you have "lines" overused in the rest of the text. Usually ECGs are gauged in lines or patterns.
"(The) hyperventilation generates short patterns/lines ..."
