Let's first consider the heart rate: with a heart rate of 194 beats/min, the heart rate is too low for atrial flutter (1:1) (except in patients who have been pre-treated with medication), and the rate would be unusually high for atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction.

Early treatment of persistent AF can reduce the risk of blood clots, stroke, and heart failure, and may prevent the disease from becoming permanent. Patients are often treated with AADs as frontline therapy for heart rhythm maintenance, though some can experience adverse effects and limited efficacy.

This strip was obtained: Apparent Wide Complex Tachycardia at a rate of 280 What do you think? He cardioverted to sinus rhythm, and a 12-lead was obtained. He cardioverted to sinus rhythm, and a 12-lead was obtained. What is the diagnosis from the above rhythm strip? The rate of 280 is just right for atrial flutter.

The electrical conduction system [1] In schematic depiction of a normal sinus rhythm the P-wave represents atrial depolarization, the QRS complex symbolizes ventricular depolarization, and the T-wave indicates ventricular repolarization. Sinus tachycardia – sinus rhythm above 100 bpm is a sinus tachycardia.

Electrical cardioversion is an atrial fibrillation medical procedure often recommended for patients experiencing irregular and rapid heartbeats. Cardioversion is used to correct abnormal heart rhythms, also known as arrhythmias. Cardioversions can help “reset” your heart rhythm to its regular pattern.
