This patient had classic atrial flutter with a cycle length of 240 msec prior to ablation. The P waves were deeply negative in ECG leads II, III, and aVF, and were initially upright in V1. Note that ...

The three irregularly irregular rhythms are atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter with variable conduction and multifocal atrial tachycardia (similar to wandering atrial pacemaker). Atrioventricular (AV ...

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 ...

There is clearly a tachycardia with narrow QRS complexes indicating a supraventricular rhythm. The clues to the aetiology are the heart rate of almost exactly 150 / min and the saw tooth waves seen ...

It is not correct to treat atrial fibrillation (Afib) and atrial flutter as equivalent risk factors for ischemic stroke, a Taiwanese cohort study suggested. From individuals included in the Taiwan ...
