There is no atrial activity to suggest atrial fibrillation. There are what could be interpreted as delta waves if, and only if, there were P-waves or other atrial activity preceding the QRS (pre-excitation can only happen when there is an impulse originating in the atria). There is a wide complex. It is irregular.

After an initially narrow QRS, there is a very large abnormal extra wave at the end of the QRS complex. There is also large T wave inversion and long QT.
