Emergency treatment is directed to restoring sinus rhythm using direct current (DC) cardioversion. Recurrent atrial flutter can be prevented by Sotalol or Amiodarone to control the ventricular rate, although the treatment of choice for recurrence is catheter ablation to permanently interrupt the atrial ...
Atrial Flutter Treatment Goals of atrial flutter treatment Treatment has three main goals: Slow your heart rate.This is usually the first step in treatment. Your doctor will prescribe medications that slow the beating of your heart’s two lower chambers, or ventricles. This will allow your heart...

Prehospital treatment is usually only indicated in hemodynamically unstable patients. Refer to local protocols for emergency medical services (EMS) management. Atrial flutter in an unstable patient should be treated immediately with synchronized cardioversion. Unstable patients are those with ongoing chest pa...
21-6). Alternatively, adenosine (6 or 12 mg) as a rapid intravenous bolus will cause temporary AV block, exposing the characteristic flutter waves. Treatment If atrial pacing wires are in place, overdrive pacing (see subsequent material) is the treatment of choice for acute atrial flutter. ...
Atrial flutter is a type of supraventricular tachycardia caused by a re-entry circuit within the right atrium
As with atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter is usually not life-threatening when it's properly treated. Risk factors Certain factors may increase your risk of developing atrial fibrillation. These include: Age.The older you are, the greater your risk of developing atrial fibrillation. Heart disease...
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...
