No clinical patient data available for this 12-lead ECG.

What does this tracing show?  Choose the correct answer from the list below.

(1.)  Sinus bradycardia with atrial bigeminy; conducted APBs; prominent U-waves; RBBB
(2.)  Sinus rhythm with 3:2 and 2:1 Type II AV block; RBBB
(3.)  Sinus rhythm with atrial bigeminy; both conducted and nonconducted APBs; RBBB

Acronyms:
APBs = atrial premature beats
RBBB = right bundle-branch block

Patient's clinical data:  76-year-old white man admitted to the ICU.  

Hint:  In Fig. 2, there is an extremely subtle clue on that ECG that I almost didn't notice.  Laddergrams will be provided for both of these as the end of the week.

What is going on here?

Two more ECGs classified under the general heading:  “Tracing suggestive of   ____ ”.  I  like ECGs that strongly favor a very specific clinical disorder.
