Widely Split P Waves After Pharmacologic Cardioversion in a Patient With Atrial Fibrillation

Abstract

We report a case of a clinically asymptomatic patient with extreme P-wave separation on the electrocardiogram mimicking atrial tachycardia with atrioventricular block. The accurate examination of the patient, analysis of the electrocardiogram, and echocardiographic findings led to proper diagnosis, management, and treatment. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
