Both heart diseases have the potential of becoming serious. However, many doctors and other health care professionals consider atrial flutter to be less serious than atrial fibrillation because flutter symptoms tend to be less severe and flutter waves have a less risk of embolization (clot formation).
Read moreWhat is Type 1 a flutter?
Type I atrial flutter, also known as common atrial flutter or typical atrial flutter, has an atrial rate of 240 to 340 beats/minute . However, this rate may be slowed by antiarrhythmic agents.
Read moreWhat is the normal atrial rate?
Symptoms of atrial fibrillation A normal heart rate, when you are resting, should be between 60 and 100 beats a minute . In atrial fibrillation, it may be over 140 beats a minute. If you notice an irregular heartbeat and/or have chest pain, see your doctor immediately.

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.
Read moreWhat is a 2 1 flutter?
When atrial flutter is conducted 2:1, the resulting ventricular rate is around 125-175 per minute (usually around 150) . This is because the P waves (flutter waves) in atrial flutter occur at about 250-350 per minute (usually around 300).15 Kas 2016
