Differentiating Atrial Flutter from other Diseases
Atrial flutter should be differentiated from the following rhythm disorders:
- Atrial fibrillation - ECG shows irregularly irregular rhythm with uncoordinated atrial activation, absent P waves, atrial rate of 400-700 beats per minute and with rapidly oscillating, fibrillatory waves that vary in amplitude, shape, and timing.
