When your electrical system is working normally, the two upper chambers of the heart (atria) contract and pump blood into the two lower chambers (ventricles) in a well-coordinated way. This results in ...
Not all atrial flutters demonstrate the typical "sawtooth" pattern. During the times of lesser conduction on this ECG, the flutter waves are more apparent. The atrial rate is organized at a rate of ...
Multifocal atrial tachycardia is a tachycardic version of wandering atrial pacemaker in which the atrial rate is greater than 100 beats per minute. Multifocal atrial tachycardia occurs when multiple ...
