The term atypical has been applied to rapid atrial tachycardias with ECG patterns differing from the typical and reverse typical flutter described above, and also to re-entrant tachycardias with circuit configuration different from the typical RA flutter circuit, even if they have an ECG pattern similar to typical …22 May 2017
Read moreWhat is type 1 and type 2 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.

Read moreHow many types of atrial flutters are there?
Types of Atrial Flutter Atrial flutter is a rapid, regular atrial rhythm caused by atrial reentry. In fact, it is the most regular of arrhythmias, the beat-to-beat cycle being virtually hairline regular. There are two types of atrial flutter, type I and type II (Fig.
Read moreWhat is the first line treatment for atrial fibrillation?
Beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers are first-line agents for rate control in AF. These drugs can be administered either intravenously or orally. They are effective at rest and with exertion. Intravenous diltiazem or metoprolol are commonly used for AF with a rapid ventricular response.18 Kas 2019
