First, the same atrial anatomic substrate can facilitate both multiple wavelet re-entry of AFib and right-atrial macro-re-entry of AFL. Second, AFib can trigger AFL [1,2]. Third, AFL, like other supraventricular arrhythmias (focal atrial tachycardia, atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia related...
Association of the two arrhythmias in the same patient is related to multiple factors. First, the same atrial anatomic substrate can facilitate both multiple wavelet re-entry of AFib and right-atrial macro-re-entry of AFL. Second, AFib can trigger AFL [1, 2]. Third, AFL, like other supra...
