Atrial Flutter
Watch an informational video on Atrial Flutter.Atrial Flutter is an abnormal heart rhythm that occurs in the atria of the heart. When it first occurs, it is usually associated with a fast heart rate or tachycardia (230–380 beats per minute). While this rhythm occurs most often in individuals with Cardiovascular Disease (eg: hypertension, coronary artery disease, and cardiomyopathy), it may occur spontaneously in people with otherwise normal hearts. It is typically not a stable rhythm, and frequently degenerates into Atrial Fibrillation. However, it does can persist for months to years.
