Now atrial fibrillation is much faster than atrial flutter, and it's also much more chaotic than atrial flutter. So typically atrial fibrillation will cause an irregular heart beat.

Predictors of atrial fibrillation or flutter were male sex (odds ratio [OR] 1.8; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.6 - 1.9), increasing age (OR, 1.7 per 10-year increment; 95% CI, 1.7 - 1.8 ...

The atrial rates during atrial flutter vary from 250 to 350 beats per minutes, slower than the 400 to 600 bpm seen in atrial fibrillation. Frequently, a 2:1 conduction ratio occurs, resulting in a ...

For one, Afib patients had more ischemic strokes and heart failure hospitalizations than did the atrial flutter cohort at a CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score of 1 or higher, but the incidence of all-cause ...

There is conflicting evidence regarding bisphosphonates and atrial fibrillation (AF) risk in osteoporosis patients. However, bisphosphonates are used in much higher doses in treatment of bone ...

Among patients hospitalized with COVID-19, atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter are common and are associated with worse outcomes, according to findings presented at the virtual American Heart ...

Although patients with A-fib and those with atrial flutter (AFL) are generally managed by clinicians in much the same way for stroke prevention, new data suggest that a common risk score used for both ...

The frequency of current bisphosphonate use (at least one prescription within 90 days before admission for atrial fibrillation and flutter) was similar in cases (3.2%) and controls (2.9%).

Jim Harbaugh said he has atrial flutter, a type of arrhythmia that causes the upper chambers of the heart to beat 250 to 350 times per minute. A flare up today is what caused him to leave the game ...

April 10 (UPI) -- Recurrence of atrial fibrillation in patients who have undergone catheter heart ablation may be reduced by treating gum disease within three months of the procedure, new Japanese ...

Study included patients treated between 1965 and 1995 Halligan and colleagues compared the outcomes of 59 patients (33 males and 26 females) with atrial flutter (average age at diagnosis, 70 years ...
