Atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation (AFib) both occur when the electrical signals that make your heart chambers contract occur faster than typical. However, they differ in the organization of ...
When your electrical system is working normally, the two upper chambers of the heart (atria) contract and pump blood into the two lower chambers (ventricles) in a well-coordinated way. This results in ...
Atrial flutter occurs when a “reentrant” circuit is present, causing a repeated loop of electrical activity to depolarize the atrium at a rate of about 250 to 350 beats per minute; the atrial rate in ...
Atrial flutter is similar to atrial fibrillation in that the rhythm originates in the atrium and causes a narrow complex tachycardia, which carries thromboembolic risk. Typical atrial flutter results ...

Living well with atrial fibrillation and flutter
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) and atrial flutter are common heart rhythm disorders that can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other complications if untreated. Understanding their ...
Use of catheter ablation is not only beneficial for treating atrial flutter but also can significantly reduce hospital visits – both inpatient and emergency – and lower the risk for atrial ...
Atrial flutter is an abnormal heart rhythm where the upper heart chambers beat too fast, reducing the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively and potentially leading to heart muscle damage, stroke, ...
