Multifocal Atrial Arrhythmias on ECG
Multifocal atrial rhythm & Multifocal atrial tachycardia
ECG Recognition:
• Variable P wave morphology of at least 3 different configurations.
• Irregular P P, RR and PR intervals.
• The change in P wave morphology is not gradual in contrast to WAP.
• Some P waves are blocked or not conducted.
• Some conducted P waves will have normal QRS morphology
• Some conducted P waves will have a wide QRS morphology (aberrant beats) because one of the bundle branches is still refractory.
