9Atrial fibrillation occurs when the atrial muscle depolarizes so frequently (rates up to 500/min) that the atrial contraction is ineffective and the QRS complex is replaced by small oscillations.

27You're performing an EKG on a patient and focusing on limb lead II. In terms of deflection, what do you expect to see on the tracing upon atrial depolarization?
- Apositive (upward) deflection forming the P wave
- Bnegative (downward) deflection forming the P wave
- Cformation of the QRS complex

31Regarding the QRS axis of the heart, if the QRS is positive (upright) in lead I and positive (upright) in lead aVF, then you have a normal axis.
