Atrial flutter is a type of irregular heartbeat, or an arrhythmia. It causes your heart to beat too fast. Atrial flutter doesn't always have symptoms, but it can sometimes have serious consequences if ...

Atrial flutter is similar to atrial fibrillation in that the rhythm originates in the atrium and causes a narrow complex tachycardia, which carries thromboembolic risk. Typical atrial flutter results ...

In a “normal” electrocardiogram (ECG), the transition of the QRS axis in the precordial leads occurs between leads V 3 and V 4 (i.e., there is a dominant S in V 3 and a dominant R in V 4).

Atrial flutter occurs when a “reentrant” circuit is present, causing a repeated loop of electrical activity to depolarize the atrium at a rate of about 250 to 350 beats per minute; the atrial rate in ...

Atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation (AFib) both occur when the electrical signals that make your heart chambers contract occur faster than normal. However, they differ in how this electrical ...

The diagnosis is NSR, Mobitz type I second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block (Wenckebach), nonconducted (blocked) PACs, and early transition (counterclockwise rotation). The rhythm is irregular, but ...

Atrial flutter is an abnormal heart rhythm where the upper heart chambers beat too fast, reducing the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively and potentially leading to heart muscle damage, stroke, ...

When your electrical system is working normally, the two upper chambers of the heart (atria) contract and pump blood into the two lower chambers (ventricles) in a well-coordinated way. This results in ...

Atrial flutter is a heart disorder in which the heart beats out of its normal rhythm. The condition is similar to atrial fibrillation (afib) — the most common type of arrhythmia (abnormal heartbeat) — ...
