Scenario: A 38-year-old female is admitted to the emergency department after “feeling palpitations and almost fainting.” She states that this started a few hours ago and got progressively worse as she tried to get ready for work. The ECG reveals nonconducted P waves without progressive PR intervals. On conducted beats, the PR interval is constant, with a ratio of 3:1 (three P waves to one conducted QRS interval). The ventricular rate ranges from 50 to 60. The PR interval is slightly pro...
