The rhythm that is produced when multiple disorganized ectopic atrial foci generate electrical activity at a very rapid rate and is irregular is atrial:
A) reentry rhythm.
B) flutter rhythm.
C) fibrillation rhythm.
D) response rhythm.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is the definition of atrial fibrillation rhythm, characterized by disorganized electrical activity originating from multiple sites in the atria, leading to an irregular and often rapid ventricular response. Atrial reentry rhythm refers to a circuit of electrical activity within the atrium, and flutter rhythm refers to a regular, but rapid electrical activity in the atrium. Response rhythm is not a recognized term in cardiology.
