Could beat c and e may be an atrial echo beat? Thank you for this blog. It saves lives!
ReplyDeleteHello Marko. The reason beats c and e are not "echo beats" — is that these P waves are not negative in the long lead II. I review the concept of "echo beats" in ECG Blog #239 (https://tinyurl.com/KG-Blog-239 ) — Let me know if you still have questions after review that blog post — :)
