If your palpitations are accompanied by dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath, or chest pain , you should seek medical attention. “Palpitations can be caused by a wide range of abnormal heart rhythms.
Read moreWhat causes frequent atrial flutter?
It’s caused by an abnormal electrical circuit in the upper chambers of the heart (atria) that makes the atria beat quickly and flutter instead of fully squeezing . It can result in fast heart rates and a heart that doesn’t work as well as it should. This increases the risk for stroke and may cause you to feel poorly.
Read moreWhat causes AFIB physiology?
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common heart rhythm disorder caused by degeneration of the electrical impulses in the upper cardiac chambers (atria) resulting in a change from an organized heart rhythm to a rapid, chaotic rhythm.

Atriyal flutter sağ atriyumda makro reentry halkası sebebiyle olan supraventriküler taşikardi tipidir. Reentry halkası 200-400 vuru/dakika atriyal hız ile (tipik olarak 300 vuru/dakika) sonuçlanmaktadır.27 Eki 2018
Read moreWhat is atrial flutter in ECG?
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 fibrillation is 400 to 600 bpm.
Read moreHow is atrial flutter managed?
Treatment options for atrial flutter include the following : Direct-current (DC) cardioversion . Antiarrhythmic drugs/nodal rate control agents. Rapid atrial pacing to terminate atrial flutter.
Read moreWhat happens in the heart with atrial flutter?
In atrial flutter, your heart’s upper chambers (atria) beat too quickly . This causes the heart to beat in a fast, but usually regular, rhythm. Atrial flutter is a type of heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia) caused by problems in your heart’s electrical system.
