Narrow QRS complexes occur regularly. This tracing suggests either atrial flutter or ventricular tachycardia. It is not atrial flutter, however. If it were, the QRS complexes occurring regularly would ...

Dr. Hugh Calkins answers the question: 'Atrial Fibrillation vs. Atrial Flutter?' — -- Question: My doctor told me I sometimes have atrial fibrillation and at other times have atrial flutter. What ...

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 ...

Atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation (AFib) are heart rhythm conditions that occur when the upper chambers of the heart (known as the atria) beat too quickly. Atrial flutter involves the atria ...

A 64-year-old man with a history of typical atrial flutter underwent a standard ablation procedure during atrial flutter to create bidirectional block across the cavotricuspid isthmus. When ...

It’s easy to confuse atrial fibrillation (AFib) with what’s called supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). After all, both have to do with your heart rate and both start in the upper chambers of your ...

Dr. Glenn Brammer, a board-certified cardiologist and electrophysiologist, performed the first atrial flutter ablation in Augusta Health’s new Electrophysiology Lab on Oct. 24. Atrial flutter is a ...

Atrial flutter is a heart disorder in which the heart beats out of its normal rhythm. The condition is similar to atrial fibrillation (afib) — the most common type of arrhythmia (abnormal heartbeat) — ...
