Read moreWhat is the difference between AFib and atrial flutter?
In atrial fibrillation, the atria beat irregularly. In atrial flutter, the atria beat regularly, but faster than usual and more often than the ventricles , so you may have four atrial beats to every one ventricular beat.
Read moreIs atrial flutter life threatening?
Although atrial flutter is usually not life-threatening at first , it does limit how well your heart pumps blood. This can cause a clot to form in your heart. If the clot breaks loose, it could lead to a stroke.
Read moreCan atrial flutter be cured?
Currently, atrial flutter is successfully “cured” by radiofrequency catheter ablation ; but treatment to restore atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm has been the traditional use of medications and external cardioversion.
Read moreWhat is difference between arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation?
An arrhythmia is when the heart beats too slowly, too fast, or in an irregular way. When a person has AFib, the normal beating in the upper chambers of the heart (the two atria) is irregular, and blood doesn’t flow as well as it should from the atria to the lower chambers of the heart (the two ventricles).
