  • Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) that can lead to the stroke, blood clots, heart failure and other heart related complications. This causes the symptoms like rapid and irregular heartbeat, fluttering, shortness of breath etc. In India for every around 4000 people eight of them are suffering from Atrial Fibrillation. P-wave Morphology.  Abnormality of P-wave (Atrial ECG components) seen during sinus rhythm are associated with Atrial fibrillation. P-wave duration is the best predictor of preoperative atrial fibrillation. but the small amplitudes of atrial ECG and its gradual increase from isometric line create difficulties in defining the onset of P wave in the Standard Lead Limb system (SLL).Studies shows that prolonged P-wave have duration in patients (PAF) In this Study, a Modified Lead Limb (MLL) which solves the practical difficulties in analyzing the P-ta interval for both in healthy subjects and Atrial Fibrillation patients. P-Ta wave interval and P-wave duration can be estimated with following proposed steps which is applicable for both filtered and unfiltered atrial ECG components which follows as the clinical database trials. For the same the p-wave fibrillated signals that escalates the diagnosis follows by providing minimal energy to recurrent into a normal sinus rhythm.
