Afib has less organized activity in the atria and thus provides less uniform “f” waves. Atypical Aflutter may have varying AV conduction, which can cause an irregular heart rhythm. It occurs when a short circuit in the heart causes the upper chambers (atria) to pump very. ‘Coarse Afib’ has an “f” wave amplitude> 0.5 mm, which can mimic Aflutter “f” waves morphology. Atrial flutter is a type of abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia. It may be difficult to distinguish atypical Aflutter from coarse Afib. Heart rate ” Irregularly irregular” and variable (slow Afib 100 bpm)įig.2 Atrial fibrillation ECG (with Ashmann phenomenon)ĭistinguish atypical Aflutter from coarse Afib: A cycle length 203 ms discriminated atrial flutter from atrial fibrillation with a sensitivity of 97 and a specificity of 87. Atypical (type II) atrial flutter: doesn’t fulfill the criteria for typical atrial flutter. Clockwise: positive flutter waves in II, III, aVF and negative in V1 If not a consistent ratio it is called Atrial Flutter with Variable AV conduction (as. 
Counterclockwise: negative flutter waves in II, III, aVF and positive in V1.Typical (type I) atrial flutter: saw-tooth-like waves.Atrial fibrillation is more commonly due to other cardiovascular conditions such as. 300 bpm (200-400 bpm) with a heart rate typically ca. What are the differences between atrial fibrillation & atrial flutter.
Afib and atypical Aflutter requires more expertise and radiofrequency ablation has lower success rate.Ītrial rate ca. The difference between atrial fibrillation (Afib) and atrial flutter (Aflutter), is clinically relevant because typical flutter can easily be treated by radiofrequency ablation.
