When atrial flutter is conducted 2:1, the resulting ventricular rate is around 125-175 per minute (usually around 150) . This is because the P waves (flutter waves) in atrial flutter occur at about 250-350 per minute (usually around 300).15 Kas 2016

Read moreWhat is the heart rate for atrial flutter?
The normal heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute. In atrial fibrillation or flutter, the heart rate may be 100 to 175 beats per minute . Blood pressure may be normal or low. An ECG (a test that records the electrical activity of the heart) may show atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.

Atrial flutter (AFl) is a cardiac dysrhythmia characterized by rapid and regular depolarization of the atria that appears as a sawtooth pattern on the electrocardiogram (ECG) and is categorized into type I (typical) and type II (atypical) AFl.1 The ECG in type I (typical) AFl is characterized by an inverted sawtooth …

Read moreWhat are the types of atrial flutter?
There are two types of atrial flutter, the common type I and rarer type II . Most individuals with atrial flutter will manifest only one of these. Rarely someone may manifest both types; however, they can manifest only one type at a time.
