Atrial fibrillation: ECG quiz video

Plays from YouTube when you click. Nothing loads from YouTube before that.

A 26-second clip of the Patient Simulator monitor. The rhythm name is never on the screen: the video asks the question, gives a hint, counts down five seconds and then gives the answer.

Hint

What rhythm is this? Is the rhythm regular? And where are the P waves?

Answer

Atrial fibrillation. Irregularly irregular, no P waves, only an uneven baseline. The pulse waves change height from beat to beat.
