To me, it was clearly atrialflutter with 1:1 conduction. The rate of 280 is just right for atrialflutter. The waves look like atrialflutter waves, NOT like a wide ventricular complex. Reverted to atrial fibrillation with RVR while in the hospital 3 times and needed cardioversion.
PubMed was queried for entries on AF and rurality: (atrial fibrillation OR atrialflutter) AND (rural OR urban OR rurality OR metro OR metropolitan) AND (united states OR US OR U.S.) These studies ranged from 1993 to 2020 and analyzed approximately 41.7 published up to September 24, 2023. million AF patient encounters.
The ECG was interpreted as showing atrialflutter with 2:1 conduction. The heart rate could be compatible with that of a 2:1 conducted atrialflutter. Also, lead I could give the initial impression of showing flutter waves. After atrial rhythm/SR was restored the patient slowly improved.
PEARL # 3: AtrialFlutter 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.
The differential of a regular narrow QRS tachycardia is sinus tachycardia, SVT, and atrialflutter with regular conduction. There are no P waves preceding the QRS complexes, and no clear flutter waves. There is no need to immediately refer today’s patient to EP for ablation.
The Differential Diagnosis is: SVT with aberrancy(#) [AVNRT vs. WPW (also called AVRT*)] Atrialflutter with 1:1 conduction, with aberrancy VT coming from the anterior fascicle ( fascicular VT )@ *AVRT = AV Reciprocating Tachycardia (Tachycardic loop that uses both the AV node and an accessory pathway.
ABSTRACT Background Different ablation strategies have been developed for persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF), but early management is still controversial. Methods and Results Between January 2020 and December 2023, 118 PeAF patients were selected for first intent Marshall plan ablation (MPA).
Note: The ECG in Figure-1 was initially recorded using the Cabrera Format ( See Comment by Dr. Grauer at the bottom of the page in the October 26, 2020 post for review of the Cabrera Format ). Before each of these WCT episodes the atrial rate decreased. Flutter waves may simulate the sinus P waves of sinus tachycardia.
