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 the heart rate for atrial flutter?
The normal heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute. In atrial fibrillation or flutter, the heart rate may be 100 to 175 beats per minute . Blood pressure may be normal or low. An ECG (a test that records the electrical activity of the heart) may show atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
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 moreWhy is there no P wave in atrial fibrillation?
Because the atrial rate is so fast, and the action potentials produced are of such low amplitude , P waves will not be seen on the ECG in patients with atrial fibrillation.
