NSVT or atrial flutter?

I'm used to experiencing AF, which feels light and chaotic compared to sinus rhythm, but these recent short runs feel more forceful than AF, and also feel regular - could they be ventricular, or potentially atrial flutter?

Off beta block and Flec prior to Ablation?

ablation this time for atrial flutter. The EP asks me to stop taking Metoprolol (50mg 2x) and Flecainide (50mx 2x) four days prior. Additionally to stop amlodipine day of procedure. What are peoples’ experiences who have done this?

Raised heart rate on amiodorome

I had an ablation in January that left me with atrial flutter. Now, a few weeks later, I am on Amiodorome - really strong - 600mh a day and my heart rate us still of over 90. Any experience like this?

Should I have an ablation?

Fortunately I’ve not had a repeat of the atrial flutter. I’ve been told by the cardiac nurse that I’ve been referred for an ablation. I’m wondering if I need it? I’m in constant sinus rhythm now and the meds seem to be keeping the atrial flutter at bay.

Magnesium supplements and atrial flutter.

Are magnesium supplements beneficial in controlling atrial flutter? Is evidence from personal experience or clinical studies available?

Sotalol

My Cardiologist has recommended DC Cardioversion and Sotalol as I’m in Atrial Flutter. I’m already taking Entresto Apixapian & Bisoprol ! Will Sotalol replace any of these or is it an additional tablet?

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

It has no problem identifying AF and occasionally picks up atrial flutter, which shows as a "saw tooth" trace between pulses.

Flying/ cruise/ atrial flutter

recently diagnosed with atrial flutter. I’ve have increasing episodes lately. I’m awaiting an ablation I was discharged from hospital a couple of days ago . I take edoxaban and have now restarted bisoprolol. I was taken off it due to low heart rate .

Atrial Flutter and Fibrillation

I was diagnosed with an atrial flutter late last year and was prescribed bisoprolol which has increased up to 5mg a day. I’ve not been feeling well of late with bpm like a yo-yo. I’ve also had a severe chest infection/ fluid on lungs which hasn’t helped.

FR Ablation tomorrow!

have my rf ablation booked for tomorrow morning to try to fix atrial flutter (AFL) after being on waiting list since December 2021. Apprehensive, to say the least, despite having watched numerous videos and researched thoroughly.

An anniversary....of sorts

It was four years ago today that I was diagnosed with Atrial Flutter and given a DC cardioversion (after the chemical cardioversion failed).

Flecainide

I have also had one Ablation procedure to correct an Atrial Flutter. I am reluctant to take tablets because of side affects. Has anyone else been on this and what has been your experience. Thanks

Is my Kardia functioning normal ?

I purchased the Kardia 6 lead ecg recorder and every time I used it it says unclassified and it only detects atrial fibrillation which I know is not true because I’m in a persistent atrial flutter so I’m just wonder is there something defective because I keep seeing people with different message say

Fourth time a char?

No longer in Afib but in atrial flutter. “Controlled” with metoprolol tartrate 50-75mg 2x/day plus flecainide 50mg2x/day … and, of course, rivaroxaban. That lasted 15 months and -wham- back into flutter. Good diet, good outdoor exercise, low stress, lots of yoga, no booze, no coffee, 68, etc.

Heart Failure Question

He has gone back to work today still in atrial flutter, with a pacemaker and all these drugs because he is worried he will lose his job but he does 12 hour days. nobody has time to sit and talk to us so he is doing what he always does and ignoring it. I like to plan things though.
