ABSTRACT Background Atrialfibrillation and atrialflutter are relatively rare in young people and the incidence of thromboembolic complications is unknown. Results There were 311 episodes of AFib/AFl among 210 patients with a median age of 17 (IQR 14, 20) years.
Although atrialfibrillation/atrialflutter (AFib/AFL) are common manifestations of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), a post hoc analysis of the ATTR-ACT study, published April 30 in JACC: CardioOncology, found they do not predict all-cause mortality.
male with pertinent past medical history including Atrialfibrillation, atrialflutter, cardiomyopathy, Pulmonary Embolism, and hypertension presented to the Emergency Department via ambulance for respiratory distress and tachycardia. Of course, this is NOT atrial fib, but rather PSVT, and so adenosine should work.
Jesse McLaren explains his AFIB mnemonic for approach to atrialfibrillation that involves 4 questions: 1. Is it atrialfibrillation? If it is atrialfibrillation and there is rapid ventricular response, is it fast from a secondary cause? Does the patient need an anticoagulant started in the ED?
A fully upright P-wave is typical atrial activity of atrialflutter as seen in V1. See these example cases of upright P-waves: Case Continued Thus, I was all but certain that this was atrialflutter. If it is flutter, it will reveal the underlying flutter waves. BP was 100 systolic.
To me, it was clearly atrialflutter with 1:1 conduction. The rate of 280 is just right for atrialflutter. The waves look like atrialflutter waves, NOT like a wide ventricular complex. Recently diagnosed with intermittent paroxysmal atrialfibrillation but no EKGs available to confirm.
Here is the computer interpretation: ATRIALFIBRILLATION WITH RAPID VENTRICULAR RESPONSE WITH ABERRANT CONDUCTION OR VENTRICULAR PREMATURE COMPLEXES LEFT AXIS DEVIATION [QRS AXIS beyone -30] NONSPECIFIC ST and T-WAVE ABNORMALITY The over-reading physician confirmed this diagnosis, which is incorrect. It is not atrialfibrillation.
Continue reading to learn more about this procedure, its significance in treating atrialfibrillation, and what to expect during treatment. What is AtrialFibrillation? Before diving into electrical cardioversion, we should understand atrialfibrillation (AF). What Is Cardioversion?
The rhythm differential for narrow, regular, and tachycardic is sinus rhythm, SVT (encompassing AVNRT, AVRT, atrial tach, etc), and atrialflutter (another supraventricular rhythm which is usually considered separately from SVTs). Therefore this patient is either in some form of SVT or atrialflutter. If so, why?
The patient had a history of paroxysmal atrialfibrillation and several cardioversions. Instead, the rate of 150, plus the history of AF, suggested atrialflutter. A close inspection of lead II showed P or flutter waves at a rate of about 300 bpm, also supporting atrialflutter. Note of Caution!
AFIB/AFL – atrialfibrillation or atrialflutter episodes. Supraventricular tachycardia – more than 7 consecutive complexes of supraventricular beats at a rate of > 100 bpm. Supraventricular rhythm (SVR) – more than 3 supraventricular beats that do not meet the criteria for AF.
The WCT is interrupted by a series of variable-morphology QRS complexes, with atrialflutter waves note in II, III, and aVF. Detail of Flutter waves The rate of the flutter waves matches the rate of the WCT (about 200/m), proving that the presenting WCT had been 1:1 atrialflutter.
She also has a hx of paroxysmal atrialfibrillation and is on oral anticoagulant treatment. The ECG was interpreted as showing atrialflutter with 2:1 conduction. The heart rate could be compatible with that of a 2:1 conducted atrialflutter. The last echocardiography 12 months ago showed HFmrEF.
There is atrial activity before every QRS, but that activity has negative polarity, so it is not sinus rhythm. There are clearly no flutter waves, so it is not atrialflutter (a "macro-reentrant" atrial tachycardia) Is it AVNRT originating at the superior pole of the AV node, resulting in a retrograde P-wave before the QRS?
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., tim.hodson Wed, 10/30/2024 - 13:42 Oct.
Figure-2: Colored arrows highlight flutter waves , with 2:1 AV conduction. Patient history: It turns out that todays patient is an 80-something year old man with longstanding hypertension and paroxysmal atrialfibrillation. The AFib had been well controlled on Flecainide for many years. VT as a proarrhythmic effect.
