Atrial rhythm resembles sinusrhythm, but origins from a different atrial focus. It can be recognised by the abnormal configuration of the p-wave. Often the p-wave is negative in AVF, as is seen in the example. | Atrial rhythm resembles sinusrhythm, but origins from a different atrial focus.

Atrial rhythm resembles sinusrhythm, but origins from a different atrial focus. It can be recognised by the abnormal configuration of the p-wave. Often the p-wave is negative in AVF, as is seen in the example.
