The other leads that most often manifest readily identifiable 2:1 atrial activity — are leads aVR , V1 and/or V2 — so I favor first checking out these 6 leads whenever looking for AFlutter. ECG #3 was obtained during treatment of this patient's AFlutter — at approximately the same time that ECG #1 was obtained.

A fascinating electrophysiology case. What is this wide complex tachycardia, and how best to manage it?

The ECG was interpreted as showing atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction. The heart rate could be compatible with that of a 2:1 conducted atrial flutter. Also, lead I could give the initial impression of showing flutter waves. The patient’s own underlying atrial rhythm is revealed at a heart rate in the mid 50s.
