Atrial flutter (AFL) is a regular supraventricular reentrant tachycardia generating a continuous fluttering of the baseline electrocardiography (ECG) at a rate of 250 to 300 beats per minute. AFL is classified based on the involvement of the cavo-tricuspid isthmus in the circuit. The "isthmic" (or type 1) AFL develops entirely in the right atrium; this circuit is commonly activated in a counter-clockwise direction, generating the common sawtooth ECG morphology in the inferior leads (slow descendent-fast ascendent). AFL can be nonisthmus dependent (type 2), often presenting with faster atrial rate and most commonly a left atrial location.
心房扑动(AFL)是一种规则的上腔性折返性心动过速,每分钟产生 250 到 300 次连续的基线心电图(ECG)扑动。AFL 根据在该环路上是否涉及腔静脉-三尖瓣峡部进行分类。“峡部”(或 1 型)AFL 完全在右心房内发生;该环路由反时钟方向通常激活,在下导线上产生常见的锯齿状 ECG 形态(缓慢下降-快速上升)。AFL 可以不依赖峡部(2 型),通常表现为更快的心房率,并且最常见于左心房位置。
