An electrocardiogram during palpitations documented atrial flutter with a P wave morphology resembling that of typical atrial flutter (Fig. 1), although the classical "sawtooth" morphology was not present. The arrhythmia had predominantly a 2:1 atrioventricular conduction. After two episodes terminated ...
Recurrence of Typical Counter-clockwise Atrial Flutter in a Postsurgical Patient: an Unexpected TrapThis is a 49-year-old male patient with prior surgery for mitral valve replacement at the ages of 33 and 47. The surgical interventions comprised right atrial atriotomy and direct suture of an ...

In its common form, AFL circles clockwise or counterclockwise within the right atrium using the cavo-tricuspid isthmus as a critical structure [51]. The typical ECG appearance of sawtooth flutter waves (F-waves) depends on the atrioventricular conduction rate, which frequently varies between 1:1 ...
