Atrial Flutter

心内科

Common symptoms

心力衰竭、呼吸困难、三尖瓣脱垂、胸闷、头晕、假日心脏综合征、心悸、心绞痛

The pathology of disease

Atrial flutter is an organized macroreentrant atrial tachycardia with sawtooth flutter waves (typically 300 bpm) and fixed AV conduction (often 2:1). Clinical: palpitations, dyspnea, similar stroke risk to AF. Treatment: rate control; anticoagulation (same as AF, CHA2DS2-VASc); cardioversion/antiarrhythmics for rhythm control; catheter ablation of cavotricuspid isthmus is curative for typical flutter.

Common Symptoms

Palpitations; sawtooth flutter waves; regular ventricular rate (often 150); similar stroke risk to AF

Causes and Pathogenesis

Right-atrial macroreentrant circuit (cavotricuspid isthmus) causes organized flutter.

Treatment

Rate control; anticoagulation; cardioversion/antiarrhythmics; isthmus ablation curative for typical flutter

Preventive Measures

Anticoagulate; ablation curative; treat underlying causes.
