Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MAT is often confused with WAP because both represent multiple P-wave morphologies. However, MAT typically has a faster rate and is more irregular than WAP. Atrial fibrillation and flutter are also irregular atrial dysrhythmias, but they do not have distinct P-waves like in MAT or WAP. Premature atrial complexes have an early P-wave that is different from the sinus P-wave, but they are not considered a multiple P-wave dysrhythmia like MAT or WAP.
