Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in adults with substantial morbidity and mortality. The diagnosis of AF is established by electrocardiogram showing heart rhythm without clear P waves with irregular RR intervals. The electrocardiographic diagnosis of AF is not always easy and can still hide pitfalls even for the most experienced cardiologist. We present the case of an 86 years old patient admitted to our hospital for Covid-19 infection affected by dilated cardiomyopathy with an electrocardiogram showing a non-specific intraventricular conduction delay mimicking sinus rhythm in the presence of AF.
