The difference is that in (b) the intrinsic atrial rate is faster. patient’s own atrial rate (Figure 1.9).

It is initiated by the P wave of the electrocardiogram. Atrial depolarization starts contraction of the cardiac muscle. When the atria contract‚ pressure within the atrial chambers increase‚ this forces more blood flow across the open atrioventricular valves‚ leading to a rapid flow of blood into the ventricles. Directional flow to vena cava is restricted to one
