A member asked:
Can atrial flutter cause o2 saturation to be lower?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: If the atrial flutter impairs the filling of the ventricles it can lead to decreased cardiac output which in turn can lead to pulmonary edema which, when severe enough, can impair gas exchange and decrease o2 saturations.
