Cardiomatics guide: Analyzing arrhythmias made easy

Cardiomatics

AFIB/AFL – atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter episodes. Other times, an irregular recording can signal a medical emergency, such as a myocardial infarction or a dangerous arrhythmia. 1] Arrhythmia Recognition: The Art of Interpretation, T.Garcia, D.Garcia.

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. Reverted to atrial fibrillation with RVR while in the hospital 3 times and needed cardioversion.

With this approval, Medtronic now offers two PFA technologies available for patients with Afib. With a short learning curve for experienced physicians, the possibilities are boundless for the treatment of Afib," said Vivek Reddy, M.D., Director of Cardiac Arrhythmia Services for the Mount Sinai Health System in New York City.

Arrhythmia? Ischemia? Both? Electricity, drugs, lytics, cath lab? You decide.

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The rhythm differential for narrow, regular, and tachycardic is sinus rhythm, SVT (encompassing AVNRT, AVRT, atrial tach, etc), and atrial flutter (another supraventricular rhythm which is usually considered separately from SVTs). Therefore this patient is either in some form of SVT or atrial flutter.

Regular Wide Complex Tachycarida with poor LV function and hypotension. Duration unknown. How to manage?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

A fully upright P-wave is typical atrial activity of atrial flutter as seen in V1. See these example cases of upright P-waves: Case Continued Thus, I was all but certain that this was atrial flutter. PEARL #1: The most commonly overlooked arrhythmia is AFlutter ( A trial F lutter ).

What Happens During Electrical Cardioversion?

AMS Cardiology

Electrical cardioversion is an atrial fibrillation medical procedure often recommended for patients experiencing irregular and rapid heartbeats. Cardioversion is used to correct abnormal heart rhythms, also known as arrhythmias. Atrial flutter: This is a rapid but regular heart rhythm often progressing to AFib.

Wide-complex tachycardia: VT, aberrant, or "other?"

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.
