Week 9 Scholarly Questions and Analytical Thinking

What are the characteristics of flutter waves. How do you tell the difference in atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter? All of this takes practice. You can learn it!.

What is a PAC? Is it a premature atrial contraction? (Yes it is). After the PAC, what do you normally see on the EKG? (is it a pause?...Yes)
Practice your PAC interpretations using Dr. Kravitz Worksheets. Always state the Underlying rhythm and then note where the PAC is. For example, NSR with a PAC (5th complex).
