ABSTRACT Atrial flutter (AFL), defined as macro-re-entrant atrial tachycardia, is associated with debilitating symptoms, stroke, heart failure, and increased mortality. Procedural endpoints include bidirectional conduction block across linear lesions and non-inducibility of atrial tachycardia.

The ECG was interpreted as showing atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction. The heart rate is about 130 bpm. 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. The ECG below was recorded.

Early treatment of persistent AF can reduce the risk of blood clots, stroke, and heart failure, and may prevent the disease from becoming permanent. Patients are often treated with AADs as frontline therapy for heart rhythm maintenance, though some can experience adverse effects and limited efficacy.

NT-proBNP values less than 300 pg/ml have a 99% negative predictive value for excluding congestive heart failure. A cutoff of 1200 pg/ml for patients with a normal eGFR is very specific for heart failure. There is atrial activity before every QRS, but that activity has negative polarity, so it is not sinus rhythm.

Methods The primary effectiveness endpoint (PEE) was 12-month freedom from documented atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter/atrial tachycardia plus freedom from acute procedural failure, nonstudy catheter failure, repeat ablation failure, direct current cardioversion (DCCV), and Class I/III antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) failure.

ABSTRACT Typical atrial flutter (AFL), defined as cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI)-dependent macro-re-entrant atrial tachycardia, often causes debilitating symptoms, and is associated with increased incidence of atrial fibrillation, stroke, heart failure, and death.
