Dear Everyone who works in a hospital: If you’re going to debate with EP about a patient’s rhythm, please come up with a better argument than “but the machine says…” Or, just listen and learn. That works too.

Wondering how the RV gets filled in diastole? Out of 0.5 sec, Howmany milliseconds will it get to fill ?!!!
