Current Concepts and Management Strategies in Atrial Flutter

Abstract:After atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter (AFL) is the most important and most common atrial tachyarrhythmia. Atrial flutter describes an electrocardiographic model of atrial tachycardia ≥240/min, with a uniform and regular continuous wave-form. There is classically a 2:1 conduction across the atrioventricular (AV) node; as a result, the ventricular rate is…
