Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) vs. Normal Rhythm: A Visual Guide Normal Sinus Rhythm: ✅Synchronized electrical impulse. ✅Clear P-wave before each QRS complex. ✅Efficient pumping = optimal blood flow. Atrial Fibrillation: ❌Chaotic electrical activity in the atria. ❌Missing P-waves. Irregular baseline ("fibrillary waves"). ❌Irregularly irregular ventricular response. ❌Blood pools, increasing stroke risk by 5x. Recognize the rhythm. Prevent the stroke. #Electrophysiology #MedicalSchool #Cardiologist #A

⚡️Atrial Fibrillation with Rapid Ventricular Response (RVR): What You Need to Know ⚡️ In Afib, the atria depolarize chaotically, sending irregular and disorganized signals to the AV node. When these signals overwhelm the AV node, the result is a rapid ventricular response — often exceeding 100 bpm — leading to Afib with RVR. Clinically, patients may present with palpitations, dyspnea, hypotension, or even signs of heart failure. It’s crucial to recognize this early to prevent hemodynamic instabi

Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart rhythm disorder, affecting more than 3 million Americans. Find out about the latest treatment options available with our free AFib treatment guide. | Cleveland Clinic
