Just finished uni for the year, did 3-Lead interpretation + Basic Arrhythmias in semester 1, and 12-Lead interpretation in semester 2.
This book was worth every cent, good general coverage of anatomy and heart structure etc. Basic rhythms, interpretation, and goes on to cover basic 12-Lead stuff. Plus it comes with some sick premade cue-cards that were super helpful.
Totally recommend it.
Sorry to be a wet blanket, but I'm fairly certain this is textbook A-flutter with variable AV conduction. I use the term AV conduction rather that AV Block, because according to Marriott's, the term "block" implies dysfunction of the AV node, which is not the case here. The AV node is functioning in its protective role by withholding extra impulses from over stimulating the ventricles. The Atrial rate is 220 with a ventricular rate of 100. I've marked the flutter waves here.Edited to be sure people look further down in this comment chain for a couple of better explanations than mine.
Special thanks to /u/ERdoc987, and /u/MedlifeCrisis for their clarifications!
tons, but I and many others will recommend the same thing---start with Dale Dubin's EKG book--get an old version, which will set you back 20 bucks, but will start you on the right path!

Fun fact: Dubin was not a cardiologist. He was a plastic surgeon who lost his medical license and was in jail for 5 years for child porn and cocaine.
I recommend Garcia's book.
