The WCT is interrupted by a series of variable-morphology QRS complexes, with atrial flutter 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 atrial flutter.

AFIB/AFL – atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter 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 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 presented to the emergency department after a couple of days of chest discomfort.

Electrical cardioversion may be recommended for you if you have certain types of arrhythmias, such as: Atrial fibrillation (AFib): This is the most common type of arrhythmia, and it can cause symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, and difficulty breathing. Atrial flutter: This is a rapid but regular heart rhythm often progressing to AFib.

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?

P utting I t A ll T ogether : — The Rhythm in Figure-1 What we have just described is the following: A regular WCT ( = W ide- C omplex T achycardia ) at a rate very close to 300/minute — without clear sign of atrial activity. Among the fast Supraventricular Rhythms: This is not AFib — because the rhythm is regular.

So this is an extremely slow atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction. Atrial rate 146, ventricular rate 73. I suspect that the amyloid slows the conduction of the atrial flutter. It turned out that he had a history of slow atrial flutter. Atrial arrhythmias ( especially AFib or AFlutter ).

Are the wide complexes due to a supraventricular rhythm (AVNRT or Atrial flutter or atrial fib) with aberrancy? The P EARL — is that when AFib is rapid, parts of the tracing often look regular — but are not truly regular when measured with calipers. P.S. — I believe parts of this tracing represent rapid AFib.

M Y A NSWER: In my experience, MAT is the 2nd-most commonly overlooked cardiac arrhythmia ( surpassed only by Atrial Flutter ). AFib is the irregularly irregular rhythm that is most commonly confused with MAT — and , AFib is much, much, much more common than true MAT. GET a 12-lead!

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 atrial flutter (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?
