You are incorrect - The best interpretation of the rhythm strip in our patient is atrial fibrillation.
Your choice: Atrial flutter
This rhythm strip shows atrial flutter. The characteristic features demonstrated here include:
A rapid, regular atrial rate, typically at 300/minute, and a wave form that has a “saw-tooth” configuration.
When untreated, the ventricle typically responds to every other beat at a heart rate of 150 beats per minute. With treatment, A-V block increases, reducing the ventricular response.
