anyone here knows the diffrence btwn fibrillation and flutter in CVS ? thanks
there is a certain pattern to your QUESTION asking routine......

interesting!!!!
if it is sinus rhythm,and no block,HR=vent rate.sinus node is pacemaker and its rate is HR.if there is block,e.g;200 p wave ,but 100 qrs.the HR is 200.vent rate is 100
HR is a general term. Usually the peripheral pulse represents HR.
VR, AR, SNR specifies the origin of the HR
