Shown below is a strip from a patient being cardioverted for atrial fibrillation. The patient was taking sotalol and coumadin. This is the first shock which was set at 150 joules and delivered via defibrillator pads placed with the positive in the V1 position and the negative on the back between the left scapula and the spine.

Shown below is an EKG showing irregularly irregular heart rhythm and absent P waves, suggestive of atrial fibrillation.
Shown below is an EKG showing irregularly irregular heart rhythm and absent P waves, suggestive of atrial fibrillation. The EKG also shows a slow ventricular response at a heart rate of 50 beats per minute.
Shown below is an EKG showing irregularly irregular heart rhythm and absent P waves, suggestive of atrial fibrillation. The EKG also shows inverted T waves, most likely suggestive of ischemia/ infarction.
Shown below is an EKG showing absent P waves and disorganized atrial activity and irregularly irregular R-R interval on the upper tracing, suggestive of atrial fibrillation. The lower strip shows normal conduction for comparison.
Shown below is an EKG showing no P waves, suggestive of atrial fibrillation along with bigeminy. The EKG also shows a right axis deviation with poor R wave progression on the chest leads.
Shown below is an EKG showing absence of P waves with a rapid ventricular response, suggestive of atrial fibrillation. The EKG also shows left axis deviation.
Shown below is an EKG showing absent P waves with a rapid ventricular response rate, suggestive of atrial fibrillation. The EKG also depicts an rSR' pattern (M pattern) and a wide QRS complex in lead V3, suggestive of right bundle branch block.

Shown below is an EKG showing absence of P waves and irregularly irregular heart rhythm, suggestive of atrial fibrillation.
Shown below is EKG showing no P waves and irregularly irregular heart rate, suggestive of atrial fibrillation with old LBBB.
Shown below is an EKG showing no P waves and irregularly irregular heart rate, suggestive of atrial fibrillation. The EKg also shows left axis deviation with LVH and inverted T waves suggestive of a strain pattern.
Shown below is an example of a low quality ECG showing atrial fibrillation. The R wave in leads V5 and V6 are greater than 35mm and there are ST/T wave changes. This is consistent with left ventricular hypertrophy.
Shown below is an EKG that shows atrial fibrillation with wide spread ST depressions suggestive of ischemia or possibly non-Q myocardial infarction. In this case there were no enzyme changes suggestive of a myocardial infarction and the changes probably represent ischemia secondary to the ventricular tachycardia terminated by the lidocaine. It is also possible that the ST changes are purely a result of the tachycardia but in this case this would seem unlikely.
The recording shows atrial fibrillation. The QRS is wide (> 120 ms.) has a left axis deviation and a large R' in V1 with a S in I and V6. The EKG shows a complete right bundle branch block and a left anterior fasicular block.
The rhythm shown below is atrial fibrillation. There are also ST/T wave changes which are nonspecific. The R wave is greater than 30 mm. in V5 suggesting left ventricular hypertrophy.
The rhythm in the EKG below is that of atrial fibrillation, and there are marked increases in the QRS deflections with an R in V6 greater than that in V5 and also greater than 35mm. There are marked ST changes in the absence of digitalis. The EKG is diagnostic of left ventricular hypertrophy. This patient has IHSS.
