atrial flutter

Preferred Label : atrial flutter;

MeSH definition : Rapid, irregular atrial contractions caused by a block of electrical impulse conduction in the right atrium and a reentrant wave front traveling up the inter-atrial septum and down the right atrial free wall or vice versa. Unlike ATRIAL FIBRILLATION which is caused by abnormal impulse generation, typical atrial flutter is caused by abnormal impulse conduction. As in atrial fibrillation, patients with atrial flutter cannot effectively pump blood into the lower chambers of the heart (HEART VENTRICLES).;

MeSH synonym : auricular flutters; flutter, atrial; flutter, auricular; atrial flutters; flutters, auricular; auricular flutter; flutters, atrial;

MeSH annotation : do not confuse with ATRIAL FIBRILLATION;
