ATRIAL FIBRILLATION

Unfortunately, I can't remember who the author of this ECG is. Perhaps he/she will get in touch with me. However, the ECG is very nice (despite the less than optimal recording quality) and that's why I want to post it. I don't know the history.
In the first section of the ECG we see coarse fibrillation waves and QRS complexes with very different RR intervals, which is why this is atrial fibrillation. It is not atrial flutter because the fibrillation waves are of different size and polarity (depending on the lead) and the intervals between the atrial actions are irregular.
