Drugs Tests Treatment Atrial flutter is an irregular heartbeat. It reduces your heart's ability to pump blood, which means you do not get enough oxygen. An irregular heartbeat could lead to a life-threatening blood clot or stroke.WHILE YOU ARE HERE:...
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...
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...
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...

Atrial flutter is a type of abnormal heart rhythm that causes a rapid but regular heartbeat. It can lead to severe complications without treatment from a doctor. Atrial flutter occurs when the upper chambers of the heart, or atria, beat much faster than the ventricles, which are the lower...

AFib vs. atrial flutter Both are problems with your heart's beating. When you haveatrial flutter, your heart beats too fast but still mostly in a regular rhythm. When you have AFib, your heart's rhythm is irregular. Types of Atrial Fibrillation ...
21-5). Postoperative atrial flutter typically has 2:1 conduction. If antiarrhythmic drugs have been given as part of routine prophylaxis, the ventricular rate with 2:1 block may be less (125 to 150 beats per minute). Atrial flutter with 2:1 AV block can be difficult to distinguish from ...
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...
