Patient's question:
My mom seems to have a bit of an irregular heartbeat. Today, I had an electrocardiogram done. What does a typical ECG image of atrial fibrillation look like?Doctor's answer:
If considering arrhythmia, this situation may present with symptoms such as palpitations and chest tightness. If considering atrial fibrillation, generally there will be recurrence of discomfort symptoms in the heart, and the electrocardiogram may also show additional changes, especially the recurrence of absolute irregular heart rate. The P wave of the heart disappears, and small sawtooth waves reappear. The irregular heart rhythm of atrial fibrillation will cause the frequency of heartbeats to be faster than the number of pulses.
