atrial fibrillationcatheter ablationThe term 'flutter' and 'fibrillation' were first coined to differentiate the differences between fast, regular contractions in Atrial Flutter (AFLUT) with irregular, vermiform contractions of Atrial Fibrillation (AFIB). Management of these two diseases has been a ...
atrial flutter at baseline, AF-related symptom, medications, any rhythm control, left atrial diameter, and left ventricular ejection fraction. After computing the expected probabilities, we matched each patient in the RVR group with those in the No RVR group at a 1:1 ratio using the nearest ne...
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a heart rhythm abnormality caused by a problem with your heart's electrical system. Normally, your heart's electricity flows from the top chambers (atria) to the bottom chambers (ventricles), causing a normal contraction. In atrial fibrillation, the electrical flow ...

Intravenous Diltiazem Versus Metoprolol in Acute Rate Control of Atrial Fibrillation/Flutter and Rapid Ventricular Response: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized ... Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) and/or atrial flutter (AFL) with rapid ventricular response (RVR) is a condition that often requires urgen...
Diltiazem is commonly used to treat atrial fibrillation or flutter (AFF) with rapid ventricular response (RVR). Although it is very effective for rate control, up to an 18% prevalence of reported diltiazem-induced hypotension [defined by systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 90 mm Hg], and a ...
Atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation (AFib) are two types of a heart problem called atrial tachycardia. Both of these conditions involve the heart's electrical activity, but they are not the same disease. Both diseases are serious and need medical treatment. Common symptoms of these diseases ...
In AF, the heart's two upper chambers (the atria) beat chaotically and irregularly out of coordination with the two lower chambers (the ventricles). This can lead to blood clot formation, stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related complications. ...
evaluated by a doctor or at a hospital emergency department. For example, the patient could be havingatrial flutter(rapid, regular electrical impulses of about 250-300 impulses per minute from the atrial tissue causing a rapid ventricular response [RVR] or rapid heartbeat) or a sinus tachycardia...
● Irregular = A-Fib ● Rate of 150 = Flutter with 2:1 ● Fast, narrow w/o p waves = SVT/AVNRT ● Fast, narrow with p waves = A tach ● If it's wide, it's VT ○ 81% in all comers; 95% or greater with structural heart disease or history of MI ● If the patient is ...
