Functional block in the initiation and maintenance of common flutter: detailed electrophysiological study and electro-anatomical mapping

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

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.

PO-01-009 THE EFFECT OF CATHETER ABLATION OF TYPICAL ATRIAL FLUTTER ON ATRIAL REMODELLING AND VENTRICULAR FUNCTION

HeartRhythm

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.

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.

Abstract 4142266: Long-term Outcomes and Predictors of Recurrence in Atrial Arrhythmia Ablations Post-Fontan Procedure: A Retrospective Analysis

Circulation

Atrial Tachycardia (70%) and Typical Atrial Flutter (65%) were the most common SVTs ablated. Tricuspid atresia and elevated BNP levels were associated with increased risk of SVT recurrence (Table).Conclusion:Recurrence A trans-baffle puncture during the ablation was performed in 6 (23%) patients.

ECG Blog #409 — Every-Other-Beat.

Ken Grauer, MD

Since the most common ventricular response to untreated AFlutter is with 2:1 AV conduction — this results in a ventricular rate HALF as fast as the flutter rate in the atria — and 300 ÷ 2 ~150/minute ( usual range ~130-170/minute ).
