Multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT) is a cardiac arrhythmia caused by multiple sites of competing atrial activity. It is characterized by an irregular atrial rate greater than 100 beats per minute (bpm).
What is MAT heart rate?
Multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT) is a rapid heart rate. It occurs when too many signals (electrical impulses) are sent from the upper heart (atria) to the lower heart (ventricles).
What is the difference between MAT and WAP?
There is no thromboembolism risk in MAT, such as seen in atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter, as the atrium are contractile in MAT. If the heart rate is less than 100 beats per minute, then the rhythm is wandering atrial pacemaker, or WAP.
