Written by Willy Frick I was reading through ECGs in the queue when I saw the following. What do you think of the rhythm? At first glance there seems to be a lot of variation happening, but by focusing on one part of the ECG at a time we can make sense of it. Ignore the first QRS complex and look at beats 2 through 5. I have labeled them below for ease of reference: We see P waves which are upright in leads I, II, and aVF, and upside down in aVR.

The causative pathogenic mutation (classical vs late onset) plays a significant role in the resultant phenotype. Due to the X-linked inheritance, males have more severe and earlier disease manifestations (~10 years earlier than in females).
