<figure class="wp-block-image"><figcaption>Atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. Not the lack of visible P waves and irregularity that make the diagnosis.

<figure class="wp-block-image"><figcaption>Atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction. Rate of 150 and fairly obvious flutter waves are present.</figcaption></figure>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><figcaption>Atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction. Flutter waves are not overtly obvious, but the rate of 150 bpm helps suggest atrial flutter. Treatment with diltiazem will slow conduction and help reveal the flutter waves and treat the rate.</figcaption></figure>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><figcaption>Atrial flutter with 1:1 conduction. The rate of 300 and regularity of QRS complexes helps confirm the diagnosis.
