Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT) is an irregular rhythm commonly associated with chronic lung disease, especially in older adults. It is characterized by three or more different P-wave morphologies in the same lead, with a rate typically between 100-150 beats per minute. Atrial fibrillation (A) can also occur in patients with chronic lung disease, but MAT is more specific to this population. SVT (B) and sinus arrhythmia (C) are not typically associated with chronic lung disease.
