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 ...

What's the source of the unusual electrocardiogram (ECG) findings in a patient presenting with dizziness and limb weakness? That's the mystery posed in a recent case report. The diagnostic challenge ...

That flutter in your chest could be more than stress. Doctors explain how arrhythmia, an irregular heartbeat, can signal ...

The rhythm in Figure 1 has a subtle pattern—a narrow QRS complex with alternating short and long R-R intervals, resulting in paired QRS complexes. Careful observation of V1 in Figure 2 reveals tiny ...

April 12, 2004 — Lone atrial flutter (ie, the occurrence of atrial flutter in patients without underlying heart disease) is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolism and subsequent ...

A new method of evaluating irregular heartbeats outperformed the approach that's currently used widely in stroke units to detect instances of atrial fibrillation. The technology, called ...

It's important to determine whether stroke patients also experience atrial fibrillation (Afib). Monitoring technology could make the process easier and more accurate. A new method of evaluating ...

Objective A systematic review, meta-analysis and meta-regression were performed on selected studies to investigate the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) among athletes compared with non-athlete ...

Tikosyn (dofetilide) is a brand-name drug prescribed for atrial fibrillation (AFib) and atrial flutter in adults. Tikosyn comes as an oral capsule that’s typically taken twice per day. The dosage can ...
