Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) vs. Normal Rhythm: A Visual Guide ✨@cardiovisual Normal Sinus Rhythm: ✅Synchronized electrical impulse. ✅Clear P-wave before each QRS complex. ✅Efficient pumping = optimal blood flow. Atrial Fibrillation: ❌Chaotic electrical activity in the atria. ❌Missing P-waves. Irregular baseline ("fibrillary waves"). ❌Irregularly irregular ventricular response. ❌Blood pools, increasing stroke risk by 5x. Recognize the rhythm. Prevent the stroke. #Electrophysiology #MedicalSchool #

What does AFib look like? Here’s the difference between a normal heartbeat and a heart in atrial fibrillation (AFib). 👉 In normal rhythm, the heart beats in a steady, coordinated pattern. 👉 In AFib, the upper chambers (atria) quiver chaotically, and blood doesn’t flow properly, increasing the risk of stroke, heart failure, and fatigue. — At CardioVisual, we simplify complex cardiometabolic information into engaging, visual content for clinicians and patients alike, empowering better care throu
