Atrial flutter (AFL) is a common abnormal heart rhythm that starts in the atrial chambers of the heart. [1] When it first occurs, it is usually associated with a fast heart rate and is classified as a type of supraventricular tachycardia. [2]
29 sie 2024 · Atrial flutter is a type of heart rhythm disorder, called an arrhythmia. It is similar to atrial fibrillation (AFib). But in atrial flutter the heart rhythm is more organized and less chaotic than in AFib. A person can have both atrial flutter and AFib. Atrial flutter may not cause symptoms.
8 paź 2024 · Learn how to diagnose atrial flutter on ECG, a form of supraventricular tachycardia caused by a re-entry circuit in the right atrium. See examples of typical and atypical flutter, variable AV block, and tips for spotting flutter waves.
23 mar 2023 · Atrial flutter is a heart rhythm disorder that causes the upper chambers of the heart to beat faster and irregularly. Learn about the symptoms, causes, risks and treatment options for atrial flutter from the American Heart Association.
8 gru 2022 · Atrial flutter, a supraventricular arrhythmia, is one of the most common rhythm disturbances of the heart. A fast atrial rate with a fixed or variable ventricular rate characterizes it. Several atrial contractions to one ventricular contraction, and symptoms include fatigue, palpitations, and syncope.
12 sty 2024 · Atrial flutter is an arrhythmia that results from an abnormal electrical circuit inside one of your heart’s two upper chambers, or atria. Most often, this...
22 kwi 2024 · Typical atrial flutter (anticlockwise cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent atrial flutter) is a macro re-entrant atrial tachycardia with atrial rates usually above 250 bpm up to 320 bpm. It results from organised electrical activity in which large areas of the atrium take part in the re-entrant circuit.
