ECG Diagnosis
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is characterized by:
1. Rapid and irregular atrial fibrillatory waves at
a rate of 350 to 600 imp/min
2. An irregularly irregular ventricular response
of 90 up to 170 beats/min
(Can be higher in some pts)
Pitfalls in Diagnosis
1. Fibrillatory waves may be inapparent on the
standard and precordial leads.
2. Fibrillatory and U waves may have sufficient
amplitude to look like P waves.
3. Extracardiac artifacts (eg, 60 cycle/min muscle
tremors as in Parkinsonism) may simulate
fibrillatory waves.
4. Regular R-R interval with AV dissociation or
block with a lower junctional or ventricular
pacemaker assumes control of the ventricles

A 65-year-old woman is evaluated because of
new-onset atrial fibrillation and an embolic stroke.
Echocardiography is performed. What does the
echocardiogram show?
Spontaneous Echo Contrast




altered LAA flow dynamics and
uncoordinated left atrial systole
Results in smoke-like echoes swirling in
LA: SEC or “smoke” presumed to
proceeding stage to thrombus formation
Seen in 50%- 65% of pts with AF

is evaluated because of an 8-hour history of substernal
chest pressure associated with dyspnea and diaphoresis.
