Confused? Go through steps:
1. Is the rhythm regular or irregular? Are the distances between each R wave equal to each other? 2. Rate (bpm)? Count # of R waves in 6 seconds x 10 (or 300 trick or 1500 trick) 3. Are all waveforms present? P waves present? 4. Measure: PR interval, QRS complex, QT interval
