This strip was obtained: Apparent Wide Complex Tachycardia at a rate of 280 What do you think? To me, it was clearly atrial flutter with 1:1 conduction. The rate of 280 is just right for atrial flutter. The waves look like atrial flutter waves, NOT like a wide ventricular complex.

ECG Blog #368 — Why So Fast?

Ken Grauer, MD

PEARL # 3: Atrial Flutter with 1:1 AV conduction is rare! Since the rate of atrial activity with flutter in adults is most often very close to 300 /minute ( ie, usual range for atrial activity ~250-350/minute ) — AFlutter with 2:1 AV conduction typically results in a regular ventricular rate of ~140-160/minute.
