Cardiologists at University of Utah Health use this therapy for people with heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias), including atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation (AFib). Your heart’s electrical ...

Atrial flutter occurs when a “reentrant” circuit is present, causing a repeated loop of electrical activity to depolarize the atrium at a rate of about 250 to 350 beats per minute; the atrial rate in ...

Atrial flutter is similar to atrial fibrillation in that the rhythm originates in the atrium and causes a narrow complex tachycardia, which carries thromboembolic risk. Typical atrial flutter results ...

Drinking a cup of caffeinated coffee daily led to a significant drop in atrial fibrillation (AF) or flutter in patients with sustained AF compared with those who abstained from coffee and caffeine, ...

NICE, FRANCE — The use of adenosine to identify and eliminate dormant pulmonary vein conduction during radiofrequency ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly reduces recurrent ...
