MeSH definition : A potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmia characterized by an extremely rapid, hemodynamically
unstable ventricular tachycardia (150-300 beats/min) with a large oscillating sine-wave
appearance. If untreated, ventricular flutter typically progresses to VENTRICULAR
FIBRILLATION.;
MeSH synonym : ventricular flutters;
MeSH annotation : do not confuse with VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION;
