ECG of the Week - 2nd December 2013

This week's ECG is from a 68yr old female who presents complaining of palpitations intermittently over the last 4 days with a concurrent viral upper respiratory tract infection. She has a history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and mitral valve replacement (St Jude's) and medications include warfarin and sotalol.
