ATRIAL FLUTTER Definition cardiac dysrhythmia –

• marked by rapid (about 300 beats per minute) regular atrial beating,
• atrial flutter usually a regular ventricular response (whose rate may vary depending on the conduction of electrical impulses from the atria through the atrioventricular node).
• Atrial flutter usually converts to sinus rhythm with low-voltage direct current (DC) cardioversion or atrial pacing.
• atrial flutter On the electrocardiogram, the fluttering of the atria is best seen in leads II, III, and F as “sawtooth” deflections between the QRS complexes.

Mediastinal flutter –

• Abnormal side-to-side motion of the mediastinum during respiration.

 

Diaphragmatic flutter –

• Rapid contractions of the diaphragm. They may occur intermittently or be present for an extended period. The cause is unknown.

 

Ventricular flutter –

• Ventricular contractions of the heart at 250 beats per minute, creating a high-amplitude, sawtooth pattern on the surface electrocardiogram. The rhythm is lethal unless immediate life support and resuscitation are provided.

• Atrial rate 250 – 350 bpm.
• Ventricular rate is half the atrial rate, because of physiological block allowing cond 50% of atrial beats to the ventricle.
• P waves replaced by flutter waves – Saw-tooth like waves best seen in lead III And AVF.
