A member asked:
Is atrial flutter serious and can it be induced by flecainide?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Atrial flutter: Atrial flutter is similar to atrial fibrillation. Both are significant arrhythmias. When atrial fibrillation is treated with flecainide, sometimes the rhythm is converted to atrial flutter instead of to sinus rhythm. Sometimes after the atrial flutter appears, and flecainide is continued sinus rhythm eventuates. Both afib and aflutter are appropriately anticoagulated. Discuss with your Doctor.
