Experiences with

Atrial flutter

About four weeks after my RF ablation my heart rate jumped from a very steady 60 to a very steady 135. ( I have an I CD that maintains my heart rate at 60) my EP called, said I was in atrial flutter, and did a cardioversion the next day to shock me back into a normal rhythm.

Prior to CV apple watch said sinus when I was confirmed in Atrial Flutter at hospital prior to CV. My pulse is even feels normal just a bit quicker abt 85 could be the stress. How do I know if the Atrial Flutter is back. He took me off Flecainide but still on Metropolol and Apixiban.

I will go with his advice, but as I read in many post here, seems that the cardioversion will only last from weeks to months, I now know that this procedure will not cure my atrial flutter, so what is the point to do it anyway?.

I had an ablation 7 weeks ago for atrial flutter. Was taking digoxin and flecanide 50 for Ist month but because it made my pulse going too slow in sinus rhythm I stopped taking meds except dabigatran .

Hi I am 69 and have had a recent cardioversion after long episodes of atrial flutter with heart rate of 130bpm.Rate is now controlled by doubling my Sotalol but i am still getting some short episodes of fast heart beats lasting several seconds.Doctors at the hospital say a 4th ablation to capture the

Wondering if anyone who has had a typical atrial flutter ablation has experienced flutter in the days/weeks following the ablation and how things eventually worked out? I had a right-side ablation for typical atrial flutter a week ago.

HELLO EVERYONE , is anyone on warfarin of have used it in the past , my doctor just started me on it for atrial flutter.

I think I had a hit of atrial flutter two days ago and got concerned that Af was returning. Any advice/thoughts please. Could the scar tidy be causing the pvc’s if that is what they are?? Thanks all Rod

Hello, Briefly I've had multiple Aortic/Mitral valve surgeries, with the second in 2013 I acquired Complete Heart Block, Permanent AF, Shunt, and my Pacemaker. I'm probably lucky that I've been reasonably stable over the years, other than every now and again having the PM settings altered. On Warfarin

Fast forward to last week when I developed an atrial flutter. Had a cardioversion yesterday which was successful with one shock. But, I got no sleep last night due to chest pain, backache (intense), and am now very lightheaded and headachy. Have felt slightly nauseus too.

Hi sorry me again. My husband is back in afib/flutter and he is now being loaded with amiodarone for yet another cardioversion. He is permanently breathless and always exhausted. He will have the procedure again in January we hope, depending on the waiting list. In the past this drug has pretty much

I wonder if it is slow atrial flutter or heart block. I have had permanent atrial fibrillation for years after ultimately unsuccessful ablations.

good morning, My name is Patrick McConnell and I live in Burlington Ontario Canada. I am 79 years old and a very athletic person most of my life. But my main issue is no stamina and always short of breath. I have been on a BTK blocker for 7 years to control my CLL. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia and

What apparently happened was that once they had ablated me for Afib it turned to Atrial flutter i then i got a cardio version..

Atrial Fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia, affecting many individuals around the world, if you would like to find out more about the latest developments in the management of AF and Atrial Flutter.

I’m in my local hospital with atrial flutter (and some good old AF) at about 150 bpm (following a bypass about a week ago). This seems to switch on when I sit up in bed or get out of bed. Blood pressure is low at 94/59. It’s too dangerous to cardiovert at the moment.

They also went ahead and ablated a common area for atrial flutter although that was not the problem. Has anyone had the back wall of the heart ablated ? What success for you? Did you have persistent afib? Thank you for any info.

What seems to help reduce atrial flutter?

Hi, I had atrial flutter treated successfully by ablation 2 years ago. I still take anti-coagulants and have been told that I could now stop these. I am worried about doing this, so my doctor is suggesting monitoring with a Kardia device for a few months and if all good, then stopping.
