Atrial Fibrillation
absence of P waves on the ECG, e.g.
absence of P wave; Also see: Index_Waves (Index _P) ... ;
( AF, AF, AF) Atrial Fibrillation, chaos conditions of atria, characterized by the absence of P waves on the ECG;
arrhythmia originates at ectopic foci, around the pulmonary vein ostia;
(irregular undulating baseline, irregular ventricular rhythm, absence of P waves, rapid atrial rate, variable ventricular response) describe Atrial Fibrillation (AF) ... ; e.g.
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) ... ;
Remark:
absence of P waves, another wording would be
"missing P waves";
Remark:
2 shorter "R" distance, 3 shorter baselines indicate THAT "rapid
atrial rate" ... ;
Remark:
variable baselines indicate THAT "irregular undulating
baseline" , "variable ventricular response"
... ;
so, Atrial Fibrillation (AF) can be noticed, realized, and understood, ... ;
Remark: atria generates (350 - 600) impulses / min; AV node is overwhelmed with atrial impulses;
