Atrial flutterIon channel blockProarrhythmic effectsSelectivityAtrial selectiveAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in humans. Therapeutic goals are normalization of ventricular rate (rate control) or restoration of sinus rhythm (SR, rhythm control). Drugs can achieve both aims. Early...
A variety of drugs may be used to treat atrial fibrillation. However, each person is unique, and some people may not respond to medical treatment, and others may require both medical treatment and invasive techniques like ablation therapy. Many doctors recommend trying these medications before recom...

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 hear...
Manage atrial flutter:Know your target heart rate. Learn how to take your pulse and monitor your heart rate. Manage other health conditions. This includes high blood pressure or cholesterol, sleep apnea, diabetes, and other heart conditions. Take medicine as directed and follow your treatment pl...

Those with complicated medical conditions and who respond poorly to drugs or procedures have a reduced prognosis. However, patients who undergo successful ablation have an excellent prognosis. Although there is little or no data available on life expectancy with atrial flutter, data from the well-kno...
Hello, good people. My mother was diagnosed atrial flutter. I know that this kind of arrhythmia is not life threatening, but it can increase risk for a heart attack.
Radiofrequency ablation of atrial flutter due to administration of class IC antiarrhythmic drugs for atrial fibrillation In selected patients, atrial fibrillation (AF) converts to atrial flutter (AFl) due to treatment with class IC antiarrhythmic drugs. In this study, we pros... B Schumacher,W ...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) are common cardiac arrhythmias in older adults. Medical management focuses on rate and rhythm control of AF and AFL to promote symptomatic relief and avoid tachycardia-mediated cardiomyopathy. Pharmacologic treatment of AF and AFL is especially challeng...
