Other Diagnostic Studies
Exercise Testing
Exercise stress testing is useful:
- To reproduce exercise induced atrial flutter/fibrillation
- To identify underlying ischemic heart disease (IHD)
Holter Monitoring
Holter monitoring is used to identify atrial arrhythmias in patients who present with nonspecific cardiac symptoms.
Adenosine
Adenosine i.v push followed by i.v bolus can reveal flutter waves on the EKG by transiently blocking the AV node.
