The Case: A young adult presented to the ED for with "heart awareness" and the ECG shown in Figure-1 — but with no more than slight shortness of breath. BP ~130/70.

Questions:

• What is the cardiac rhythm in Figure-1?
• How certain are you of your diagnosis?
• Is the clinical scenario consistent with what you might expect for this rhythm?
