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;
