Atrial flutter is a cardiac rhythm disorder characterized by rapid, coordinated contractions of the atria, the heart's upper chambers. Unlike atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter involves a well-organized and regular circuit of electrical signals in the heart. This abnormal rhythm can result from various factors, including heart disease, surgery, or lung conditions. Individuals with atrial flutter may experience symptoms such as a fluttering sensation in the chest, dizziness, or fainting. While atrial flutter is typically not immediately life-threatening, it can lead to complications such as blood clots and stroke. Diagnosis involves an electrocardiogram (ECG), and management may include medications to control heart rate and rhythm, as well as procedures like catheter ablation to correct the irregular electrical pathways. Early detection and appropriate intervention are essential in addressing atrial flutter and preventing potential complications.
