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 re〆ntry circuit.Rapid Cardiac Caredoi:10.1002/9781119547808.ch13Emma Menzies〨ow...
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. ...
Radiofrequency ablation is a safe and effective first-line treatment for typical atrial flutter and has a number of advantages over long-term pharmacological management. Issues such as quality of life and patient choice also need to be ... L Tabbernor - 《British Journal of Cardiac Nursing》 ...

Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG):This is the primary test to determine when an arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation. The ECG can help the doctor distinguish AFib from other arrhythmias that may have similar symptoms (atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia, or runs of ventricular tachycardia). The test ...
and of an epicardial access in the treatment of stand-alone AF on the beating heart. If so, we will better understand which energy sources, lesion sets and surgical techniques are able to give us a three-dimensional knowledge and a three-dimensional treatment of AF. As a result, we can ...
The anatomical structure of atrial flutter is now well recognized, and treatment with radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) is established. Several recording and ablation techniques can be applied.An increasing number of patients have been treated with RFA at the Arrhythmia Centre at Haukeland Universi...

There is no single drug of choice for atrial fibrillation. Instead, treatment regimens—which may include a heart rate control medication, an antiarrhythmic drug, a blood-thinner to prevent clots, and lifestyle changes—are individually chosen based on factors like the severity of a patient’s sy...
Choice of rate versus rhythm control for long-term treatment: Consider the following factors (among others): cardiovascular risks, symptoms, AF duration Choosing rate control: Historically preferred for individuals > 80 years (as AF is often permanent and/or asymptomatic in this group) Long-stan...
