Cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) dependent atrial flutter (AFL) is one of the most common atrial arrhythmias involving the right atrium (RA). Radiofrequency catheter ablation has been widely used as a therapy of choice and it is curative.

IntroductionThe precise pathophysiology of common atrial flutter remains imperfectly known. The direction of activation is therefore frequently counter-clockwise, and the arrhythmia stabilizes around the vena cavas and sinus venosus/crista terminalis region. Its rotation is limited by anatomical and functional boundaries.

Wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt-CM) is often accompanied by atrial fibrillation (AF), atrial flutter (AFL), and atrial tachycardia (AT), which are difficult to control because beta-blockers and antiarrhythmic drugs can worsen heart failure (HF).

What arrhythmia is present? Let's first consider the heart rate: with a heart rate of 194 beats/min, the heart rate is too low for atrial flutter (1:1) (except in patients who have been pre-treated with medication), and the rate would be unusually high for atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction.

Re-entrant tachycardias (atrial flutter, PSVT, AVRT, VT) have constant regular heart rates, whereas sinus tachycardia will usually gradually change rate with differing conditions (for instance, after infusion of fluid and BP increase, sinus tach rate might decrease from 130 to 125, for instance). So there is a re-entrant rhythm.
