challenges of atypical atrial flutter ablation

Typical atrial flutter is seen in the electrocardiogram as continuous negative modulation in inferior leads (II, III, and AVF) and flat atrial deflections in leads I and aVL this is due to the way of propagation and activation of the macro-reentrant circuit as will be described in the pathophysiology section. Typical or cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) dependent is the most common type of atrial flutter this rhythm originates in the right atrium at the level of the tricuspid valve annulus. Electrical axis of the flutter waves can help to determine the origin of the atrial flutter. Electrocardiographic findings of atrial flutter are flutter waves without an isoelectric line in between QRS complex. Ītrial flutter is a macro-reentrant tachycardia and depending on the site of origin can be typical or atypical atrial flutter. In this review will summarize the management of atrial flutter.Ītrial flutter is one of the most common arrhythmias and is characterized by an abnormal cardiac rhythm that is fast with an atrial rate of 300beats/min and a ventricular rate that can be fixed or be variable that can cause palpitations, fatigue, syncope, and embolic phenomenon. Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter are the most common of these atrial arrhythmias, and the other less common supraventricular arrhythmias are atrial tachycardias, atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia, atrioventricular nodal tachycardia, and others. Supraventricular arrhythmias are a diverse group of atrial arrhythmias.

Review the importance of improving care coordination among the interprofessional team members to decrease the risk of embolic stroke and improve outcomes for patients affected by atrial flutter.Summarize the use of electrocardiogram, echocardiogram and laboratory tests in the evaluation of atrial flutter.Describe the different pathophysiologies of typical and atypical atrial flutter.Identify the role of the re-entrant mechanism in the etiology of atrial flutter.This activity outlines the evaluation and treatment of atrial flutter and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in managing patients with this condition. There are several atrial contractions to one ventricular contraction and symptoms include fatigue, palpitations, and syncope. It is characterized by a fast atrial rate with a fixed or variable ventricular rate. Atrial flutter, a supraventricular arrhythmia, is one of the most common rhythm disturbances of the heart.
