Background: Atypical atrial flutter (AAFL) prevalence is increasing due to the escalating atrial fibrillation (AF) ablations and cardiac surgeries. We wanted to explore the outcome of the AAFL ablation, considering the recent changes in mapping and ablation. Methods: This ...

The adjusted HR for the postblanking incidence of either AF, atrial flutter, or atrial tachycardia was 0.53 (95% CI, 0.46-0.62; P < .001) (eFigure 3 in Supplement 3). Fifty seven percent of patients had persistent or long-standing persistent AF at the beginning of the trial, ...
The risk factors for and the symptoms and causes of atrial flutter are similar to those of atrial fibrillation. For example, strokes are also a concern in someone with atrial flutter. As with atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter is usually not life-threatening when it's properly treated. ...
This device detects and records automatically AF, irrespective of heart rate or symptoms32. ICM recordings were monitored constantly to detect possible ECG anomalies during the study. The Medtronic CareLinkTM Network was used to transmit the device data remotely. The device will automatically initiate ...
and often has a ventricular rate in the range of 120 to 180 beats per minute.13The baseline on the ECG strip often is undulating and occasionally has coarse irregular activity (Figure 3). This activity may resemble atrial flutter, but it is not as uniform wave to wave as atrial flutter....
