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 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 moreCan heart flutters last for days?
When blood is not pumped well, vital organs, such as the heart and brain, may not get enough oxygen from the blood. Atrial flutter can come and go; it is then known as paroxysmal atrial flutter. More often, atrial flutter lasts for days to weeks and is known as persistent atrial flutter.
Read moreCan atrial flutter last a few seconds?
Episodes can last a few seconds, hours or a few days before stopping and returning to normal sinus rhythm, which is the heart’s normal rhythm. Some people may have single episodes of AFib.

Read moreCan atrial flutter be intermittent?
Some patients may have flutter waves that last less than a day, spontaneously terminate, but return irregularly and are termed paroxysmal atrial flutter . Unfortunately, atrial flutter also can convert to another abnormal heart rhythm such as atrial fibrillation during the same period.
