If atrial flutter is suspected clinically but is not clearly evident on ECG, acquiring a Lewis lead ECG may be helpful in revealing flutter waves.
22.
An esophageal lead avails for a more accurate differentiation between certain cardiac arrhythmias, particularly atrial flutter, AV nodal reentrant tachycardia and orthodromic atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia.
23.
Atrial kick is absent if there is loss of normal electrical conduction in the heart, such as during atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and complete heart block.
24.
Vanoxerine terminates atrial flutters and atrial fibrillations ( both cardiac abnormal heart rhythms ) by blocking the recirculating electrical signal, and preventing the reformation of the reentrant circuit.
25.
The company uses 3D analysis and mapping to detect the sources of atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and atrial tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia to identify targets for catheter ablation.
26.
This is the property of the AV node that prevents rapid conduction to the ventricle in cases of rapid atrial rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
27.
Atrial flutter can be the result of valve disease, hardening of the arteries, thyroid disease or heart failure, according to the health Web site, www . healthsquare . com.
28.
For TIC due to atrial flutter, rate control is often difficult to achieve, and RF catheter ablation has a relatively high success rate with a low risk of complications.
29.
AV node blockers should be avoided in atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter with WPW or history of it; this includes adenosine, diltiazem, verapamil, other calcium channel blockers, and beta blockers.
30.
If the baseline has totally an irregular form this suggests fibrillatory waves of atrial fibrillation or possibly artefact; a saw tooth shaped baseline suggests the flutter waves of atrial flutter.
