He was noted to have irregular heart rhythm with rates 120-170s. I don’t see evidence of retrograde atrial activity during the WCT — but usually with the “almost regular AFib rhythms” — you can when you measure pick up some slight differences — so my hunch is that the initial ECG is a REENTRY SVT rhythm, that then breaks down to AFib.

Cardioversion is used to correct abnormal heart rhythms, also known as arrhythmias. When your heart beats too quickly, too slow, or irregularly, it can affect your blood flow and lead to severe complications like stroke or heart failure. Cardioversions can help “reset” your heart rhythm to its regular pattern.
