Congenital atrial flutter.
Atrial flutter in infants is rare (Keith, Rowe, and Vlad, 1967) and was first reported by Lewis (1915) in an infant of 3 months. Carr and McClure (1931) reported atrial flutter in a newborn infant in whom the cardiac irregularity was noted occasionally before birth and in whom the heart rate and rhythm returned to normal on the 10th day after birth. Fetal tachycardia in such a case can lead to ...
متن کاملDirect current cardioversion in a case of congenital atrial flutter.
The congenital type of atrial flutter has a poor prognosis when unresponsive to digoxin (Moller, Davachi, and Anderson, 1969). Recorded experience with cardioversion is limited but it has been suggested that this type of flutter is refractory to electric countershock (Rodriguez-Coronel, Sueblingvong, and Hastreiter, 1968). We report an infant with congenital heart defects and congenital atrial ...

was attempted in eight patients with drug refractory type I atrial flutter. In seven of eight patients, a zone of prolongation and fragmentation of the endocardial electrogram was found in the low posterior part of the right atrium. Entrainment of the atrial flutter by high right atrial pacing was accompanied by local recording of second-degree regional block in several atrial sectors but never...
متن کاملCharacterization of Atrial Flutter
Studies were performed using bipolar atrial wire electrodes to record atrial electrograms and to pace the atria in 27 patients who developed atrial flutter after open heart surgery. Two types of atrial flutter, classic or type I atrial flutter, and type II atrial flutter, were identified. Both types of atrial flutter were characterized by uniformity of the beat-to-beat atrial cycle length, morp...
متن کامل[Atrial flutter: an update].
Invasive electrophysiologic studies have changed the clinical outlook for patients with atrial flutter. Recognition of the reentrant circuit responsible for typical atrial flutter has led to the development of catheter ablation techniques that can prevent recurrence in >90% of cases. In addition, general understanding of atrial tachycardias has changed radically, such that ECG-based classificat...
