Abstract Introduction Atrial fibrillation (Afib) is a prevalent chronic arrhythmia associated with severe complications, including stroke, heart failure, and increased mortality. Results/Observation Current Afib detection methods, such as electrocardiography, have limitations in sensitivity and specificity.

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.

MY THOUGHTS on ECG #1: My initial impression on looking at the ECG in Figure-1 — was that the rhythm was either rapid AFib in a patient with WPW — or — PMVT ( P oly M orphic VT ). The reason I initially thought the underlying rhythm was AFib — is that no atrial activity is seen in any lead and the rhythm “looks” irregular. See text ).
