  1. May 27, 2022 · Atrial flutter is a type of heart rhythm disorder ( arrhythmia) caused by problems in the heart's electrical system. Atrial flutter is similar to atrial fibrillation, a common disorder that causes the heart to beat in irregular patterns.

  2. Feb 11, 2022 · Atrial flutter is a form of supraventricular tachycardia caused by a re-entry circuit within the right atrium. The length of the re-entry circuit corresponds to the size of the right atrium, resulting in a fairly predictable atrial rate of around 300 bpm (range 200-400)

  3. Mar 23, 2023 · Atrial flutter occurs when the chambers beat faster than normal and not always in coordination. It is not as common as atrial fibrillation, also known as AFib or AF. But atrial flutter has similar symptoms, causes and consequences.

  4. Jan 12, 2024 · Atrial flutter is an arrhythmia that results from an abnormal electrical circuit inside one of your hearts two upper chambers, or atria. Most often, this...

  5. Atrial flutter is characterized by a sudden-onset (usually) regular abnormal heart rhythm on an electrocardiogram (ECG) in which the heart rate is fast.

  6. Sep 21, 2022 · Atrial flutter is a type of supraventricular arrhythmia. This means it’s an abnormal heart rhythm that starts in the upper chambers of your heart. With atrial flutter, your heart beats in a fast but consistent pattern. A normal heart rate is 60 to 100 beats a minute when you’re at rest.

  7. Apr 22, 2024 · Atrial flutter is typically characterised on the ECG by flutter waves, which are a saw-tooth pattern of atrial activation, most prominent in leads II, III, aVF, and V1. Atrial rates are typically above 250 bpm and up to 320 bpm.
