Atrial Flutter -has a "saw
tooth or picket fence" atrial
pattern (no P waves, F-waves
in stead that may be in a
ratio) between the QRS
complexes.

, Atrial Fibrillation-Has
"chaotic" atrial electrical
activity (no P waves,
fwaves instead) with
irregular R-R intervals.


PJCs cause the rhythm to be
irregular. The P wave is
inverted if it can be seen. It
may occur before, during or
after the QRS. The P wave
will not be seen due to its
low voltage.




Junctional Rhythm may have
an inverted or absent P wave.
The P wave may occur
before, during or after the
QRS complex. The rate for
this rhythm is 40-60 bpm.




Accelerated Junctional
Rhythm may have an
inverted or absent P wave.
The P wave may occur
before, during or after the
QRS complex. The rate for
this rhythm is 60-100 bpm.




Junctional Tachycardia
Rhythm may have an
inverted or absent P wave.
The P wave may occur
before, during or after the
QRS complex. The rate for
this rhythm is 100-180 bpm
