BACKGROUND:Inflammation may promote atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation. This study aimed to evaluate a short-term anti-inflammatory treatment with colchicine following ablation of AF.METHODS:Patients scheduled for ablation were randomized to receive colchicine 0.6 2.02];P=0.89). 1.99];P=0.55).CONCLUSIONS:Colchicine

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. Recently diagnosed with intermittent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation but no EKGs available to confirm.

She presented to the emergency department after a couple of days of chest discomfort. 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.

She reports that she is now unable to vagal out of her palpitations and is having shortness of breath and dull chest pain. The differential of a regular narrow QRS tachycardia is sinus tachycardia, SVT, and atrial flutter with regular conduction. There is no need to immediately refer today’s patient to EP for ablation.
