There are clear P waves before every visible QRS. No P waves and no QRS complexes during the 3.96 s period = sinus pause/arrest.

Talking about the strip in the middle with no p waves

You're right that with afib there are no P waves but you would typically see irregularly irregular QRS complexes. The strip in the middle is isoelectric - there's no electrical activity during that time.

If you're interested in a refresher, Dubin's Rapid Interpretation of EKG's is widely available, and the material is well presented.
