Atrial Fibrillation (ECG Rhythm Interpretation)

The nature of atrial fibrillation is where multiple electrical impulses are generated in the atria at the same time which causes chaotic myocardial responses. This atrial fibrillation may diminish the pre-load and effectiveness of the cardiac contraction which can lead to the development of microemboli due to stagnant blood flow from the atria. In some cases, a-fib leads to a rapid ventricular response secondary to a re-entry problem. A-fib is indicated by an irregular rhythm with QRSs where the P-waves are not present with only fibrillatory waves present for the atrial activity.

I wish he had arrows pointing to all these waves and had shown a normal ekg.

My problem is it’s hard to tell the difference between this and noise

Wow... explained v well... !!! Thank you

[idkwhattonameit]

Is P wave normal in that ECG ?
Just kidding
