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 ...

Atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation (AFib) both occur when the electrical signals that make your heart chambers contract occur faster than normal. However, they differ in how this electrical ...

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 ...

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 ...

The sensation deep in Cari Widmer’s chest came without warning. It was like a little storm in her heart. “I was having no normal heart beats, just a continuous fluttering sensation … a vibrating ...

An abnormal heart rhythm, also known as an arrhythmia, occurs when the heart beats too fast, too slow, or irregularly, which can be caused by various factors affecting the heart’s complex system.

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 ...

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) — ...
