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.
Conversion of sinus bradycardia to atrial rhythm is sometimes seen in young patients with sinus bradycardia.
