Thromboprophylaxis for Patients with High-risk Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter Discharged from the Emergency Department
Introduction Many patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (AF/FL) who are high risk for ischemic stroke are not receiving evidence-based thromboprophylaxis. We examined anticoagulant prescribing within 30 days of receiving dysrhythmia care for non-valvular AF/FL in the emergency department (ED). Methods This prospective study included non-anticoagulated adults at high risk for isc...
متن کاملAtrial flutter.
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 کاملJust Missing the Mark: Discharging High-risk Atrial Fibrillation / Flutter without Thromboprophylaxis
Atrial fibrillation and flutter (AF) is a pervasive disease affecting 6.1 million people in the United States.1 Each year it is responsible for more than 750,000 hospitalizations and 130,000 deaths.2,3 In contrast to overall declining death rates for cardiovascular disease,4 AF as the “primary or contributing cause of death has been rising for more than two decades.”3 The annual economic burden...
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 کاملCongenital 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 ...
