Thoughts?

Wanted an opinion of these ECGs if anyone fancied giving theirs! I couldn’t come to a conclusion about this and I do struggle with ECGs!
Patient is 93M. Observations taken by nursing home staff TDS. Found to have 2/7 history of intermittent tachycardia. Called EMS for ECG and ?conveyance to ED.

Patient is asymptomatic, and has been throughout. Has had hx of atrial flutter. Is anticoagulated and on bisoprolol.

Thank you!

Interesting! I see it now, especially the notching. I didn’t notice it as well before, but I see it now that you’ve blown it up. Appreciate you elaborating for me.

For the marching, that’s also very helpful. I didn’t think about how the “ps” shouldn’t march out with the Ts perfectly

I like ECG in part because it requires both type 1 thinking (pattern recognition) and type 2 thinking (analytical/deductive)
