Atrial Flutter and Atrial Fibrillation
Class, for an brief, but EXCELLENT YOUTUBE video that explains Atrial Fibrillation, please CLICK HERE.
With atrial flutter the 'P' waves are called flutter waves. The PRI is indeterminate. Note the 'Flutter' waves. They often look like a 'saw tooth' shape. Report the F wave to QRS ratio. If not a consistent ratio it is called Atrial Flutter with Variable AV conduction (as seen below).
Below are some examples of Atrial Flutter
