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. We want to avoid a stroke. What AV nodal blocker should we give?

The electrical impulse goes further to the atrioventricular (AV) node, whose role is to slow down the conduction from the atria to the ventricles long enough for atrial contraction to occur. This allows the atria to fill the ventricles and achieve the highest possible stroke volume. An abnormal electrocardiogram can mean many things.

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. After atrial rhythm/SR was restored the patient slowly improved.

When your heart beats too quickly, too slow, or irregularly, it can affect your blood flow and lead to severe complications like stroke or heart failure. Atrial flutter: This is a rapid but regular heart rhythm often progressing to AFib. Cardioversion is used to correct abnormal heart rhythms, also known as arrhythmias.

speci fi city of the General Electric (GE) algorithm for AF, but they excluded cases with ventricular paced rhythm (VPR), in which the underlying atrial rhythm was frequently AF;we did not exclude VPR, as accurate identi fi cation of AF in VPR is important for determination of stroke risk [ 22 ].
