Abstract

Atrial flutter is a macro-reentrant atrial arrhythmia characterized by regular atrial rate and constant P-wave morphology. The atrial flutter is divided into typical and atypical types, according to whether reentrant circuit involves the cavotricuspid isthmus. This review summarizes the management of atrial flutter based on 2015 ACC/AHA/HRS guideline.
