Atrial Flutter ECG Heart Rate: greater than 100 per minute. Rhythm: irregular Pacemaker Site: multiple ectopic atrial pacemaker sites. P-waves: absent, but replaced with multiple “F” waves . QRS complex. Normal. Atrial Flutter Signs and Symptoms People who have atrial flutter are likely to h...
Atrial flutter is an aberrant, reentrant atrial tachycardia. The ECG shows characteristic "sawtooth" p-waves with a rate of about 300 bpm. Since the conduction abnormality is above the AV node, the QRS complexes are normal. In atrial fibrillation, multiple ectopic atrial pacemakers fire in a ...
Atrial Flutter Atrial flutter (AF) is a reentry circuit in the atria, with the majority of pediatric atrial flutter seen in patients with congenital heart disease. The typical ECG findings in “classic” atrial flutter include negative P waves in the inferior leads (II, III, and aVF), with...
P-waves: absent. QRS complex. Normal. Atrial Fibrillation Signs and Symptoms People who have atrial flutter are likely to have the following signs and symptoms: 1. Signs associated with poor perfusion, such as pale, cold, clammy skin. Some diaphoresis may be present. 2. Symptoms such as the...
Abstract This case of a patient with pseudoatrial flutter waves demonstrates the importance of obtaining a 12-lead electrocardiogram to avoid misidentifying pseudoatrial flutter waves with new-onset atrial flutter.Article InformationCorresponding Author: Nathanial S.

1. P wave: saw-toothed "flutter" F waves2. Atrial rhythm: regular3. Atrial rate: 250 to 350 beats per minute4. PR interval: not measurable5. Ventricular rhythm: usually regular6. Ventricular rate: depends on degree of AVblock. Can be 2:1, 4:1, etc.7. QRS complex: usually within...
Atrial flutter can be distinguished from atrial fibrillation, since in atrial fibrillation the atrial rate is so fast that the P waves are no longer identifiable. Regular AV conduction with a 3:1 conduction pattern can best be identified in lead RVp. Atrial and ventricular cycles were regular ...

35.1). In contrast, atrial flutter is characterized by the presence of discrete P waves and atrial activation sequences. An important characteristic of atrial flutter is that the atrial activation is the same from beat to beat. Often times, patients with coarse AF with large-amplitude...
