A 71-year-old man with amedical history of hypertension and 80 pack-years of tobacco smokingwas presented with dyspnoea and coughof3-week duration. He was tachycardic, with heart rate 127 beats per minute. ECG revealed atrial flutter. Chest x-ray showed right upper lobe consolidation ...
This includes high blood pressure or cholesterol, sleep apnea, diabetes, and other heart conditions. Take medicine as directed and follow your treatment plan. Your healthcare provider may need to change a medicine you are taking if it is causing your atrial flutter. Do not stop taking any medi...

This electrical shock stops the abnormal electrical activity of the heart for a brief moment and allows the normal rhythm to take over. Although electrical cardioversion can be used to treat almost any abnormal fast heartbeat (such as atrial flutter and ventricular tachycardia), it is used most ...
Atrial flutter : an irregular heart rhythm of the atria. It is classified as supraventricular tachycardia . Symptoms include palpitations . Complications include increased risk of stroke and heart failure . Key difference: Flutter is a regular rhythm whereas fibrillation is irregular. Paroxysmal supra...

The PEFCAT II study utilized the same catheter for the treatment of the PVs, while also investigating the first-in-human treatment of cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI)–dependent flutter with a novel, deflectable focal PFA catheter. The IMPULSE and PEFCAT studies are prospective, single-arm safety ...
Definition and Causes I. Atrial flutter is a form of reentry tachycardia that utilizes the anatomy of the right atrium to sustain a loop of continuous depolarization. II. The causes are the same as for AF. A. Anything that causes atrial enlargement can predispose to this arrhythmia. B. I...
