it is important to differentiate between them (Table 15.1) because of the differences in management. In particular,radiofrequency(RF) ablation is considered as first-line therapy in atrial flutter, but not in AF. The differences between the two arrhythmias, usually detectable by ECG, are based ...
For patients who cannot tolerate medication or when the medication is ineffective, ablation for atrial flutter is often used. Ablation is a surgical procedure aimed at permanently correcting the heart's electrical system. The ablation process involves threading a thin, flexible tube to the heart ...
Direct treatment of atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation--that is, attempting to prevent arrhythmia recurrences by ablating atrial tissue--has been a challenge because of uncertainty about the location of optimal target tissues as well as the amount of atrial tissue requiring destruction to effect ...
Studies suggest that 18%–50% of the patients develop atrial fibrillation (AF) after typical atrial flutter (AFL) ablation. However, little data exist about the incidence of and risk factors for stroke and AF after successful ablation of typical AFL. To determine the risk of stroke and AF af...
