Abstract
The admission electrocardiogram (EGG) from a patient with severe heart failure was considered diagnostic of atrial flutter with 2:1 atrioven tricular conduction. Slowing of the heart rate revealed sinus tachycar dia with prominent 'J' waves that had been previously thought to be 'F ' waves.
