Instead, the rate of 150, plus the history of AF, suggested atrial flutter. A close inspection of lead II showed P or flutter waves at a rate of about 300 bpm, also supporting atrial flutter. There appear to be flutter waves at a rate of 300. Flecainide encourages new atrial flutter.

Finally, much of this correlates well with The new Canadian Syncope Arrhythmia Risk Score , just published in 2016, results of which are given below in the Annotated Bibliography. The most recent and probably best study is this: Canadian Syncope Arrhythmia Risk Score. Academic Emergency Medicine., Thiruganasambandamoorthy, V.,
