Heart palpitations are common, and they often last for a few seconds . The tips listed above can help to stop palpitations and reduce their occurrence. Speak to a doctor if the sensation lasts for longer than a few seconds. This may indicate an underlying condition that requires treatment.
Read moreCan atrial flutter fix itself?
Sometimes, atrial flutter goes away by itself and no further action is needed . If it persists, your doctor may pursue any of the following treatments: Treatment of any underlying conditions. Catheter ablation — procedure to destroy the errant electrical pathways; performed together with an electrophysiological study.

4:1 block. High-grade AV block (4:1 conduction ratio) Atrial rate is approximately 140 bpm. Ventricular rate is approximately 35 bpm . See High Grade AV Block.
Read moreHow do you calculate atrial flutter ratio?
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.
