No difference: Heart flutter is an arrhythmia. It's like asking, "what is the difference between chevrolet and automobiles?".

How can you tell difference between heart palpitation and arrhythmia? Occasionally get fluttering heartbeat, not necessarily related to stress or exercise. Has happened through adult life, only lasts for seconds at a time. Feels scary, but goes away.
Not sure what I'm feeling with my heart. Once in a while when working out, I'll feel a flutter or two in my chest. But maybe it's a palpitation. Feels like it beats REALLY hard for a single beat. Arrhythmia runs in my family. Should I be concerned?
Hi! Would an echocardiogram detect an abnormal heartbeat or arrhythmia? I had one done within the year but still get random flutter and heart racing
What kind of arrhythmia would cause your heart to flutter, dizzy, like no beats in between and scared. It felt like a lot if pvcs in a row.
Is extreme fatigue during the day (no matter how much sleep I get) a symptom of arrhythmia? Other current side effects include: dizziness, heart fluttering (feels like I am getting really anxious/excited for something) and lightheadedness. Im 21?
