a. The P wave precedes, follows, or is buried in the QRS complex
b. Disorganized and irregular atrial waves are accompanied by an irregular ventricular rate
c. An atrial rate of 240 to 350 beats/min in a sawtooth pattern of atrial depolarization is seen
d. P waves occurs earlier than normal, preceded by a P wave with a normal QRS configuration -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔b. Disorganized and irregular atrial waves are accompanied by an
irregular ventricular rate
- Atrial fibrillation is described as disorganized and irregular atrial waves accompanied by an
irregular ventricular rate.
- Escape rhythms can present with a P wave that precedes, follows, or is buried in the QRS
complex.
- Atrial flutter is typically manifested by a rapid atrial rate of 240 to 350 beats/min and a
characteristic saw-tooth pattern of atrial depolarizations.
- Premature atrial complexes (PAC) are characterized by P waves that occur earlier than normal,
preceded by a P wave with a normal QRS configuration.
