The degree of blocking in the atrioventricular node is specified by counting the number of flutter waves preceding each QRS complex . If 3 flutter waves occur before each QRS complex then it is 3:1 block. If there are 2 flutter waves before each QRS complex then it is 2:1 block.
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.

Diagnosis – Atrial Flutter Sinus P waves are absent . The classic “sawtooth” pattern occurs, as the reentrant circuit around the tricuspid valve is large, resulting in high-amplitude P waves.10 Nis 2017
