Thromboembolic Complications From Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter in Pediatrics and Young Adults: A Multicenter Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

ABSTRACT Background Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter are relatively rare in young people and the incidence of thromboembolic complications is unknown. These issues contribute to the limited utility of present guidelines regarding anticoagulation in this population.

Catheter ablation of typical atrial flutter improves cardiac chamber size and function

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Introduction Cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) dependent atrial flutter (AFL) is one of the most common atrial arrhythmias involving the right atrium (RA) for which radiofrequency catheter ablation has been widely used as a therapy of choice.

Very high?power short?duration catheter ablation for treatment of cardiac arrhythmias: Insights from the FAST and FURIOUS study series

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Although the QDOT MICRO™ Catheter was mainly designed for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) its versatility to treat atrial fibrillation (AF) and other types of arrhythmias was recently evaluated by the FAST and FURIOUS study series and other studies and will be presented in this article.

Digoxin Loading Doses and Serum Digoxin Concentrations for Rate Control of Atrial Arrhythmias in Critically Ill Patients

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology

Intravenous (IV) digoxin loading dose recommendations for rate control of atrial arrhythmias in critically ill patients are not well studied. Intravenous (IV) digoxin loading dose recommendations for rate control of atrial arrhythmias in critically ill patients are not well studied. ng/mL is recommended.

Care for Atrial Fibrillation and Outcomes in Rural Versus Urban Communities in the United States: A Systematic and Narrative Review

Journal of the American Heart Association

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia and associated with increased morbidity and mortality. PubMed was queried for entries on AF and rurality: (atrial fibrillation OR atrial flutter) AND (rural OR urban OR rurality OR metro OR metropolitan) AND (united states OR US OR U.S.)

A fascinating electrophysiology case. What is this wide complex tachycardia, and how best to manage it?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

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. Many advances in treatment have occurred in the 28 years since this article was published.

ECG Blog #368 — Why So Fast?

Ken Grauer, MD

What is unusual about this arrhythmia? Doing so suggests that the R-R interval of this exceedingly rapid arrhythmia is just a tiny amount over 1 large box — which corresponds to a ventricular rate just under 300/minute ( ie, between 290-300/minute ). PEARL # 3: Atrial Flutter with 1:1 AV conduction is rare!
