B) flutter rhythm.
C) response rhythm.
D) fibrillation rhythm.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is the definition of atrial fibrillation, where there is chaotic electrical activity in the atria leading to an irregular and often rapid ventricular response. Atrial flutter is a regular rhythm produced by a single reentry circuit in the atria, while atrial reentry rhythm refers to an abnormal reentry circuit within the atria. Response rhythm is not a recognized medical term.
