Atrial Vectorcardiogram in Left Atrial Rhythm

Joseph C. Alfenito M.D., F.C.C.P.1; Richard J. Kennedy M.D., F.C.C.P.1; and Philip Varriale M.D.1

The atrial vectorcardiograms of two cases of left atrial rhythm are described. The essential vectorcardiographic features of the usual type of this ectopic rhythm, with its variations, are discussed. The probable sites of origin of these variations are considered. It is suggested that the atrial vectorcardiogram amplified to the greatest possible magnification is the best and most direct means of demonstrating the direction of atrial activation.
