Atrial flutter
A
250-350bpm
saw tooth waves
f waves
regular
8
Q
Ventricular flutter
A
250-350 bpm
smooth QRS complexes
no p waves
slower than vfib
9
Q
Atrial fibrillation
A
350-450bpm
no p waves
only fibrillations that can be mistaken for p waves
absence of base line
10
Q
Ventricular fibrillation
A
350-450bpm
no identifiable p, QRS and P waves
amplitude decreases with duration
