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, as in this example.
