Not all atrial flutters demonstrate the typical "sawtooth" pattern. During the times of lesser conduction on this ECG, the flutter waves are more apparent. The atrial rate is organized at a rate of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Extended cardiac monitoring in patients and the use of implantable cardiovascular electronic devices can increase detection of atrial fibrillation (AF), but the devices have limitations including ...

This Journal feature begins with a case vignette highlighting a common clinical problem. Evidence supporting various strategies is then presented, followed by a review of formal guidelines, when they ...

HeartBeam has presented data demonstrating that its HeartBeam AI applied to vectorcardiography (VCG) technology outperformed an expert panel of heart rhythm cardiologists in detecting atrial flutter.

Atrial flutter is a type of irregular heartbeat, or an arrhythmia. It causes your heart to beat too fast. Atrial flutter doesn't always have symptoms, but it can sometimes have serious consequences if ...

Atrial flutter (AFL) is a type of abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia. It occurs when the upper chambers of your heart beat too fast, causing the bottom chambers to also beat faster than normal.
