At times it is difficult to distinguish atrial fibrillation from atrial flutter on the ECG. This example shows coarse "fibrillatory waves" in the setting of atrial fibrillation. This are of varying ...

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 ...

(HealthDay)—A smartphone-operated one-lead electrocardiography (1L-ECG) device with an integral algorithm can diagnose atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL), according to a study published ...

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 ...
