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.

Clinically: Initial treatment of AFlutter is the same, regardless of whether the rotation direction is CW or CCW — so this distinction is not important to the emergency provider ( Cosio — Arrhythmia & EP Review 6(2):55-62, 2017 ). And a Final Tracing. Reviews PEARLS regarding the ECG diagnosis of AFlutter — and — What's "New"?
