27. Choice B is the correct answer. It is a narrow complex tachycardia. It is a rapid sudden onset of a heart rate originating from an ectopic foci form the AV junction. The P wave is inverted and occurring before during or after the QRS complex. Rate is between 150-250 beats per minute. PAT is when the ectopic focus occurs from the atria. Often it is hard to tell if the the P wave is present or not. Collectively these tachycardias are referred to as supraventricular tachycardia. Ventricular tachycardia is a wide complex tachycardia that has a rate over 150 beats per minute. Atrial Fibrillation is an irregularly irregular rhythm that the ectopic focus occurs from the atria.
