a global leader in cardiac arrhythmia treatment and part of Johnson & Johnson MedTechi , revealed findings from a company-funded study of real-world data. AFib is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia and affects more than 6 million people in the United States and nearly 38 million people worldwide.2,3

This middle-aged patient presented with SOB, weakness, and mild pulmonary edema. C linical P oints R egarding E CG # 1 : We are told that the patient is a middle-aged woman and that she previously had been in AFib with LBBB. She previously had Atrial fibrillation with LBBB. This shows atrial fibrillation.

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.

Q waves in association with RBBB are usually not seen in anterior leads unless there is pulmonary hypertension or anterior infarction. Other Arrhythmias ( PACs, PVCs, AFib, Bradycardia and AV conduction disorders — potentially lethal VT/VFib ). Sinus Tachycardia ( common in any trauma patient. ). QTc prolongation.

P utting I t A ll T ogether: At this point in my assessment of today's rhythm — I fully acknowledge that I did not know for certain the etiology of this arrhythmia.
