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…

Electrocardiographic Markers of Cardioversion Success in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Background:In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL), the value of the 12-lead surface electrocardiogram (ECG) in predicting direct current cardioversion (DCCV) outcomes has not been thoroughly investigated. We sought to determine whether the type of atrial arrhythmia (AF versus AFL) and the characteristics of the atrial fibrillatory…

An Unusual Cause of New-onset Atrial Flutter: Primary Cardiac Lymphoma

Primary cardiac lymphoma is a rare disease with a high mortality rate due to the advanced stage of myocardial involvement at presentation. The diagnosis is extremely difficult to make because of the rarity of the disease, variability of clinical manifestations, limited noninvasive diagnostic techniques available, and difficulties and/or delays in…
