Atrial Flutter:

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 1997
Atrial Flutter. For five decades, the mechanism of atrial flutter remained controversial, with protagonists and antagonists of circus movement versus ectopic focus theories. The development of clinical electrophysiologv in the 1970s and the observations made by many authors in various canine heart models supported the concept of atrial flutter as a ...

Pathophysiology of Atrial Flutter

Annual Review of Medicine, 1998
Atrial flutter is a macroreentrant tachyarrhythmia most often contained within the right atrium. Typical atrial flutter is defined on an electrocardiogram by the classic “sawtooth” pattern of flutter waves with negative polarity in leads II, III, and aVF.

Management of Atrial Flutter

Cardiology in Review, 2001
Atrial flutter is a macroreentrant arrhythmia that is associated with cardiovascular and pulmonary disease. In the United States, 200,000 new cases of atrial flutter can be expected to develop every year with a male to female ratio of over 2:1. This arrhythmia is associated with atrial fibrillation in over half the cases.

Pseudo atrial flutter

European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2007
Atrial flutter typically has a cycle length of 200 ms (300 cycles/min or 5 Hz); with 4:1 conduction through the AV node, this would lead to a ventricular rate of 75 bpm. We present a case of a patient with a Parkinsonian tremor at a frequency of 300 cycles/min that masqueraded as atrial flutter on the limb leads of a 12-lead ECG.

Atrial flutter

The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1988
Atrial flutter is a supraventricular tachydysrhythmia believed to arise from electrophysiologic disturbances in the atria. It tends to be an unstable rhythm and is usually associated with intrinsic cardiac or pulmonary disease or adverse extrinsic influences on the heart.

Management of atrial flutter

Current Cardiology Reports, 2000
Typical atrial flutter is a macroreentrant arrhythmia of the right atrium. The isthmus area between the tricuspid annulus, the inferior vena cava, and the ostium of the coronary sinus is a critical zone of the reentry circle. Atrial flutter has been treated with class I and III antiarrhytmic drugs to maintain sinus rhythm, with moderate success ...

Congenital Atrial Flutter

Chest, 1975
Two cases of congenital atrial flutter, one of which was documented electrocardiographically before birth, are reported. In both patients sinus rhythm was restored with digoxin treatment; in one patient the transition was preceded by various arrhythmias. No cardiac malformation was found in either case, and no materal disease occurred during pregnancy.

Atrial flutter in infancy

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1969
Atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation present difficult problems in management, particularly during infancy. The clinical experience with 6 personally observed and 30 reported cases of infantile atrial flutter is described. Two types of flutter are distinguished: type I (congenital), which occurs prior to birth or within the first week of life ...

Atrial Flutter Update

Cardiac Electrophysiology Review, 2002
Typical atrial flutter has long been considered a reentrant arrhythmia, but it is only recently that the full structure of the right atrial circuit was understood, leading to de devise of ablation techniques. Recognition of the role of functional block, based on anisotropic conduction was crucial to understanding of the flutter circuit.
