Atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction. The atrial flutter rate is approximately 200 bpm, with 2:1 AV conduction resulting in ventricular rate almost exactly 100 bpm. Further history revealed she had new onset atrial flutter soon after her aortic surgery, and was put on flecainide approximately 1 month ago.

Methods Patients with symptomatic PAF who underwent RFCA between October 2021 and May 2023 were retrospectively analysed. Regular clinical follow-ups were conducted to detect AF recurrence, defined as any episode of atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter or atrial tachycardia lasting >30 s.

FDA in 2019 and received CE Mark in 2021. The company also recently commenced the AVANT GUARD clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the system as a first-line treatment for persistent AF compared to anti-arrhythmic drug therapy. Boston Scientific plans to immediately launch the system in the U.S.

Smith comment-2: Another adverse effect from flecainide is atrial flutter with 1:1 conduction (if you happen to go into atrial flutter, the flecainide slows the flutter rate such that it is slow enough to conduct throught the AV node at 1:1 and you can end up with a ventricular rate of 220!! .
