The Management of Atrial Flutter

Year: 2002

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: Atrial flutter was first described in 1911 by Jolly and Ritchie (1), who differentiated this arrhythmia from atrial fibrillation (AF) and reported the typical saw-tooth-shaped atrial waves in leads II and III. Early insight into atrial flutter was facilitated by Lewis, who defined the electrocardiographic findings and through a series of animal experiments concluded that the arrhythmia resulted from circus movement around one or both caval orifices (2–4).
