When your electrical system is working normally, the two upper chambers of the heart (atria) contract and pump blood into the two lower chambers (ventricles) in a well-coordinated way. This results in ...

Not all atrial flutters demonstrate the typical "sawtooth" pattern. During the times of lesser conduction on this ECG, the flutter waves are more apparent. The atrial rate is organized at a rate of ...

When atrial flutter is seen with such a slow ventricular response (in this case, 9:1 conduction), there is concern for underlying complete heart block should the patient be restored to normal sinus ...

Narrow QRS complexes occur regularly. This tracing suggests either atrial flutter or ventricular tachycardia. It is not atrial flutter, however. If it were, the QRS complexes occurring regularly would ...

[Music] cardiac arhythmia can be classified by site of origin sinus rhythms originate from the sinoatrial node or SA node atrial rhythms originate from the Atria ventricular rhythms originate from the ...

The study does indicate, said the researchers, that there needs to be a greater focus on the long-term sequelae of AF and atrial flutter. “Clinicians currently primarily focus on preventing the risk ...

ATLANTA - When Michael Woodard of Atlanta retired from his career as a sociology professor, he got more serious about golf. "Since my retirement, I tell people golf is my salvation," Woodard says. The ...
