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. On her 5th hospital day — she was given Amiodarone, which successfully converted the rhythm.

Electrical cardioversion may be recommended for you if you have certain types of arrhythmias, such as: Atrial fibrillation (AFib): This is the most common type of arrhythmia, and it can cause symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, and difficulty breathing. Atrial flutter: This is a rapid but regular heart rhythm often progressing to AFib.

The differential of a regular narrow QRS tachycardia is sinus tachycardia, SVT, and atrial flutter with regular conduction. There are no P waves preceding the QRS complexes, and no clear flutter waves. We see a regular tachycardia with a narrow QRS complex and no evidence of OMI or subendocardial ischemia.

The patient was given furosemide and admitted to the hospital. There is atrial activity before every QRS, but that activity has negative polarity, so it is not sinus rhythm.
