Association of typical atrial flutter and cavotricuspid isthmus ablation on clinical recurrence after cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Typical atrial flutter commonly occurs in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Limited information exists regarding the effects of concurrent atrial flutter on the long-term outcomes of rhythm control. Patients who were screened for typical atrial flutter were included in the analysis ( n  = 1,907).

PO-05-111 CLINICAL OUTCOMES OF CATHETER ABLATION FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION, ATRIAL FLUTTER, AND ATRIAL TACHYCARDIA IN WILD-TYPE TRANSTHYRETIN AMYLOID CARDIOMYOPATHY: A PROPOSED TREATMENT STRATEGY FOR CATHETER ABLATION IN EACH ARRHYTHMIA

HeartRhythm

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).

Boston Scientific Initiates AVANT GUARD Clinical Trial to Evaluate FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System as First-Line Treatment for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

DAIC

Outcomes of ablation with the FARAPULSE PFA System – a nonthermal treatment in which electric fields selectively ablate heart tissue – will be compared to outcomes following use of anti-arrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy, which is commonly prescribed for patients living with persistent AF. "The The company now anticipates U.S.

What happens when you give adenosine to a patient with this rhythm?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Here is his 12-lead ECG: The computer reads supraventricular tachycardia. It is atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction. There are clear flutter waves in lead II across the bottom. Adenosine simply blocks the AV node so that there is no QRS to hide the flutter waves, and they become obvious. What is it?

A 50 year old man with sudden altered mental status and inferior STE. Would you give lytics? Yes, but not because of the ECG!

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

There is the appearance of STE in inferior leads II, III, and aVF (with STD in aVR), but this is entirely due to flutter waves which are only seen in those leads. Also, the atrial flutter in this case is relatively slow like in many other cases we've shown. Tachycardia and ST Elevation. Atrial Flutter with Inferior STEMI?

Arrhythmia? Ischemia? Both? Electricity, drugs, lytics, cath lab? You decide.

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The rhythm differential for narrow, regular, and tachycardic is sinus rhythm, SVT (encompassing AVNRT, AVRT, atrial tach, etc), and atrial flutter (another supraventricular rhythm which is usually considered separately from SVTs). Therefore this patient is either in some form of SVT or atrial flutter.

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

Circulation

Introduction:Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is common and poorly tolerated in patients who have undergone Fontan procedure. Demographic, clinical, and outcome variables over 5 years were compared between patients with and without SVT recurrence.Results:Mean age of 25 patients (56% male) at time of SVT ablation was 31.5 ± 7.2
