Answer to the ECG of the Week 28 October 2013

  Answer: ECG of the Week


Answer: Counterclockwise Typical Atrial Flutter
Typical Atrial Flutter can be identified by the characteristic ‘sawtooth’ pattern. The direction of travel can be determined by looking at the inferior leads (leads II, III, and avF). In this case they are negative, which indicates counterclockwise flutter. Positive flutter waves in the inferior leads would indicate Clockwise Typical Atrial Flutter.

Congratulations to Beth for being the first person to submit the correct answer. 
Honorable Mention goes to Theresa and Jamie who both answered correctly but submitted their answers after Beth.
