Atrial flutter is a supraventricular tachydysrhythmia believed to arise from electrophysiologic disturbances in the atria. It tends to be an unstable rhythm and is usually associated with intrinsic cardiac or pulmonary disease or adverse extrinsic influences on the heart. It is due to either a re...
