The following arrhyhmias arise in the atrium. Dependent on the refractory period of the AV-node the ventricles follow the atrial contraction. However, at higher atrial rates the AV-node starts to block conduction from atrium to ventricle.<cite>Blomstrom-Lundqvist, ESC</cite> | The following arrhyhmias arise in the atrium.<cite>ecgpedia</cite> Dependent on the refractory period of the AV-node the ventricles follow the atrial contraction.
