  1. Electrophysiological Mechanisms of Atrial Flutter - PMC

    Typical atrial flutter rotates around tricuspid annulus and uses the crista terminalis and sometimes sinus venosa as the boundary. The IVC-tricuspid isthmus is a slow conduction zone and the …

  2. Atrial Flutter • LITFL • ECG Library Diagnosis

    Oct 8, 2024 · Atrial flutter is a form of supraventricular tachycardia caused by a re-entry circuit within the right atrium. The length of the re-entry circuit corresponds to the size of the right …

  3. Atrial Flutter, Typical and Atypical: A Review | AER Journal

    Electrophysiological studies have defined multiple mechanisms of tachycardia, both re-entrant and focal, with varying ECG morphologies and rates, authenticated by the results of catheter …

  4. What Is The Pathophysiology of Atrial Flutter?

    Mar 11, 2025 · Atrial flutter is a common arrhythmia that involves a reentrant circuit in the atria, leading to rapid but organized atrial contractions. The condition can have a significant impact …

  5. Atrial Flutter: Practice Essentials, Background, Pathophysiology

    Jun 14, 2024 · Atrial flutter is a cardiac arrhythmia characterized by atrial rates of 240-400 beats/min, usually with some degree of atrioventricular (AV) node conduction block.

  6. Atrial flutter - Wikipedia

    Atrial flutter is characterized by a sudden-onset (usually) regular abnormal heart rhythm on an electrocardiogram (ECG) in which the heart rate is fast.

  7. Atrial Flutter - Cardiovascular Disorders - MSD Manual ...

    Atrial flutter is a rapid regular atrial rhythm due to an atrial macroreentrant circuit. Symptoms include palpitations and sometimes weakness, effort intolerance, dyspnea, and presyncope.

  8. Mechanisms of atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation ...

    May 1, 2002 · Classical atrial flutter, now called typical and reverse typical atrial flutter [7], is well recognized to be due to a macro-reentrant mechanism, in which the reentrant wave front …

  9. Common Atrial Flutter and Macroreentrant and Multifocal ...

    Common or typical right atrial flutter is attributed to a wavefront of electrical propagation encircling the tricuspid valve annulus, bounded anteriorly by the annulus and posteriorly by the inferior …

  10. Electrocardiographic and electrophysiologic features of ...

    Sep 19, 2025 · There is frequently 2:1 conduction across the atrioventricular (AV) node, meaning that every other atrial depolarization reaches the ventricles. As a result, the ventricular rate is …
