He cardioverted to sinus rhythm, and a 12-lead was obtained. What is the diagnosis from the above rhythm strip? To me, it was clearly atrialflutter with 1:1 conduction. The rate of 280 is just right for atrialflutter. The waves look like atrialflutter waves, NOT like a wide ventricular complex.
male with pertinent past medical history including Atrial fibrillation, atrialflutter, cardiomyopathy, Pulmonary Embolism, and hypertension presented to the Emergency Department via ambulance for respiratory distress and tachycardia. He was noted to have irregular heartrhythm with rates 120-170s.
