Pre op i could separate quite easily from afib flutter ectopics.
Multifocal atrial tachycardia mat and rhythm discrete multifocal p waves occurring at rates of 100 250 min and with varying p r intervals should see at least 3 different p wave morphologies in a given lead.

Multifocal atrial tachycardia mat this is a rhythm caused by multiple foci of conduction within the atria.
