The ECG in Figure-1 — was obtained from an older man with a history of prior infarction and coronary bypass surgery. How would you interpret this tracing? Clinical implications? Figure-1: The ECG in today's case. ( To improve visualization — I've digitized the original ECG using PMcardio ). MY Thoughts on the ECG in Figure-1: The rhythm in ECG #1 is sinus at ~65/minute — with an upright P wave in lead II, and a constant and normal PR interval (ie, not more than 0.21 second in duration ).

Atrial fibrillation (AF) stands as the most prevalent cardiovascular disease, posing significant risks of stroke, heart failure (HF), and other complications that contribute to morbidity and mortality. While traditional research on AF has primarily focused on electrophysiological components such as ionic currents and Ca2+ handling system, treatment strategies have mainly revolved around the rate-limiting β-blockers and Ca2+ channel blockers or rhythm-control methods such as cardioversion, antiar
