The results support the use of workflows to reduce radiation exposure during catheter ablation for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib) while maintaining safety, efficacy, and long-term patient outcomes comparable to traditional procedures.1 2020 June;127(1):4-20. Int J Stroke. 2021 Feb;16(2):217-221.

This middle-aged patient presented with SOB, weakness, and mild pulmonary edema. See this terrible case: Computer often fails to diagnose atrial fibrillation in ventricular paced rhythm, and that can be catastrophic == MY Comment , by K EN G RAUER, MD ( 1/22/2020 ): == Our THANKS to Dr. Smith for presenting this extremely interesting case.

As a result, in order to differentiate MAT from the much more commonly encountered irregularly irregular rhythm ( which is AFib ) — we need to be certain we are seeing multiple different P wave morphologies that are constantly changing. Clinically , the importance of recognizing MAT — is that treatment is different than the treatment of AFib.

of all cases, and 62% of Veritas® misdiagnoses). == MY Comment , by K EN G RAUER, MD ( 1/5/2020 ): == This case illustrates a number of important teaching points. AFib is the irregularly irregular rhythm that is most commonly confused with MAT — and , AFib is much, much, much more common than true MAT. GET a 12-lead!

An old formal echo was found from 6 mo ago: Dilated right ventricle with septal flattening and estimated right ventricular systolic pressure of 70 mmHg (significant pulmonary hypertension). She ruled out for acute MI by troponins. See further discussion of R/S ratio greater than 1 in lead V1 by Ken below. What else?
