Although atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter (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.

Jesse McLaren explains his AFIB mnemonic for approach to atrial fibrillation that involves 4 questions: 1. Is it atrial fibrillation? If it is atrial fibrillation and there is rapid ventricular response, is it fast from a secondary cause? Does the patient need an anticoagulant started in the ED?

male with pertinent past medical history including Atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, 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.

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.

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. If it is flutter, it will reveal the underlying flutter waves. BP was 100 systolic.
