Atrial Fibrillation vs Atrial Flutter - ECG (EKG) Interpretation - MEDZCOOL

The difference between atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter originates from the source atrial depolarization and subsequent pattern of ventricular conduction.

This may just be the most beautiful ECG video/explanation I've ever seen!

[@TherismosFoundation]

Exactly what I was thinking!!!!

[@AugsburgHabila]

Same

[@danielreardon7878]

Sounds effects are oddly satisfying

[@mattcool97]

Wow what a brilliant and elegantly done video. 10/10 sound effects, animations, and educational content.

[@afrayemmorgan4951]

Where have you been all my goddamn life? Studying for Step 3 here

[@brianjeong2702]

Don't usually leave comments but excellent video. Was having trouble with Afib and AFL, helped a lot

[@DrCk-lj7sf]

These animation videos heard with earphones is much more satisfactory♥️keep going

[@mayurpujara3213]

I understand the difference between Atrial fibrillation and Atrial flutter within 1 min.. Thank you so much....👍💐💐 Keep it up

[@valeriea1191]

Love the effects. And so straight forward.

[@sethleedom5177]

This was absolutely perfect in every way.

[@theunknown5536]

that was so entertaining, couldnt stop repeating the video, the more you watch, the more satisfied you get

[@yogeshlakshman8488]

The best and simplest and clearest short ecg video to me

[@presley007]

Watching an EKG video and I get a burger king ad before it starts. Probably why most of us are watching this in the first place 😂😂

[@juneloveletter3901]

The sound effects are so engaging. Well-made video! Many thanks

[@nawaf1329nawaf]

Best thing I have ever seen thank you so much

[@alexander1126]

@stephanie somer is right about the regularity...but video explained a typical case very well. Would love to recommend this channel to all my friends. Kudos to the editing..The sounds animations everything is fantabulous. Please post more videos like this.

[@amirself-improvement7487]

I love this format!

[@mariecarmenmailvaganam7316]

Awesome! Such a great job!!

[@shnmco]

wow satisfying presentation. it was entertaining too. thank you so much!!

[@elzbiegrineviciute1201]

Brilliant video, thanks for such a good compare-contrast

[@debajitroy3791]

wonderfully presented. thanks

[@lolagarcia9556]

Thank you so much! This was great!

[@aliciamontoya9917]

This was most helpful. Never be taught this in such a clear manner, this was always confusing.

[@tiptoe609]

What a creative video wow!!

[@faizallahfahd3067]

wow, most beautiful thing i saw

[@karenevans7494]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEO!!!!!

[@mar7956]

you are really creative!! wow

[@sanjaybm1008]

this is really good👌

[@abdulrehmanakhtar9416]

A good ca make learning fun. .....My man nailed it.....

[@SakshiSingh-kr3pg]

Superb n so simple n to the point

[@hopekisah7768]

awesome editing

[@medwizard702]

epic explanation. Thank you for making it so enjoyable!

[@medzcool]

My pleasure! 😊

[@sarahkhalifa]

This for me looks like a very impressive video editing project.. It is very satisfying, smooth and simple. Though my attention was mostly on the edit instead of the info, i still caught the difference between the two arrhythmias.

[@MissRateil]

WOW!!!! That easy !!! Thanx.

[@Alonely1]

i love it! Thx!

[@onceuponatime_12to23]

amazing editing skills

[@hafidisamiha2596]

just wow , God bless u

[@pstinter]

AMAZING THANK YOU

[@VanceCrew]

I came here for the resource from a course I am designing, and that sound is oddly satisfying.

[@rehabaaloqab3680]

Very very very nice and helpful vedio , the design and the idea were fantastic 😍 Go ahead , help us by more like this vedio

[@doctormutahira]

MaShaAllah MaShaAllah Very Good work.Really , it hepled a lot.Understood the concept of Atrial flutter and Atrial fibrillation efficiently.

[@emanluthfi3159]

Got to take some time in btw my questions to say thanks for this amazzzing video

[@sumitgupta4414]

Excellent... Excellent Thank you sir

[@harshitchaudhary1409]

Marvellous.

[@kifahabdullah5104]

Amasing ...👍 💎 🌹

[@lenaazzo9869]

I’m in love ❤

[@wiamalbouzidi7778]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@ellios5734]

Wow beautiful

[@ayeshaidrees02]

Thank you. ✌

[@anindyamukherjee9059]

excellent!

[@Sam-un3ts]

this is very pretty. i never though i'd say that to an ecg lecture HAHAH

[@Mohamed-qn8ii]

thank you brother

[@sumimarykoshy893]

Good presentation

[@stephaniesomer5934]

Yessss. Thank you! I use all your vids to help prepare my new tele techs prior to the class I teach. I also recommend you to new RN grads who want to perfect their rhythm interpretation. I always tell my peeps-The atria sets the pace-With atrial flutter the atria are pro-fusing better, so the ventricles can better regulate their response- so it’s usually regular. But-not always. You can have a irregular(variable ventricular response) rhythm with flutter as well. Is it a 4/1, 3/1, 2/1 block- is the ventricular rate regular, if not-please state that it’s irregular. Is the atrial rate regular? You should be able to state the atrial rate if you can count it-if you can’t count it... the rule I tell my students-If you feel like you wanna call it flutter but you can’t define and count count every flutter/pseudo p-wave-just call it course afib... 🤗

[@medzcool]

Stephanie, I love that you mentioned the potential of variability in atrial flutter because it's often a point that confuses many of my students. I had mentioned this very briefly in the video I made for atrial flutter (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZXQgoaFn61qjqc), but I love your suggestion of explicitly stating the pattern of QRS conduction, (4:1, 3:1, 2:1, etc) along with stating if the rhythm is regular or not. I guess this video was meant to be super brief covering the more classic findings in each arrhythmia, which is a question I definitely get more often versus questions regarding atrial flutter with variable blocks. Finally, your last point on course afib is golden!

[@tonylane8813]

Good video. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@MusicIslife-mt1ng]

Who is editor ? He deserves special applaud

[@patelpriyansid.7144]

Awesome super cool 😎

[@amnasabir9992]

What a beautiful explanation with only visuals and sound effects. I would watch it for satisfaction rather than to learn 😂

[@prachibhattarai3833]

U rock !

[@elliecramer2836]

Atrial flutter is usually with an atrial rate of close to 300, and conduction of a division of 300. Rate of 300=1:1 conduction, rate of 150= 2:1 conduction, rate of 100= 3;1 conduction, rate of 75=4:1 conduction, etc. Atrial rate is usually quite regular, but there may be varying ventricular conduction, either as a function of AV node, or a pacemaker slipping in a beat if ventricular response is too slow for pacer limits. Slowing the paper speed may allow flutter waves to be seen that are obscured by normal speed.

[@hayakhan6774]

Impressive

[@electronicfellows2113]

THANKS

[@aayushipandey4712]

god bless you :')

[@yaren8422]

So goood

[@user-xl4wo9gf8z]

The graphics are attractive and strongly explanatory. Matt Roberts had a feature sweeping, building comment. Matt Roberts made a template, a plan.

[@waleedatef2902]

U are damn genius!,!,

[@Janayoonie98]

Wow!

[@scottwyckoff5483]

Clear as mud

[@drdrugs-lo6lq]

Which lead is best for viewing atrial flutter

[@humanbeingzzz]

❣

[@DrMohamadAli97]

Is the atrial flutter always regular? Thank You for this amazing and professional video!!

[@medzcool]

No! It depends on the degree of AV block and if it is fixed or variable. For example, aflutter with a fixed 2:1 AV block will appear regular. But if there is variability the types of blocks, as in the case of aflutter with a 2:1 to 4:1 block, then the R-R intervals will appear irregular, because the amount of p-waves between each QRS complex will vary over time.

[@michaelwall1721]

I love you.

[@bobbyhempel1513]

And what if it looks like it's randomly bouncing back and forth between the two?

[@KatelynIngle]

I’m here cause the Apple Watch told me I was in afib. I also had gotten highly anxious however, but will be monitoring this in next couple days. I think it did not read proper all other readings were normal but a couple.

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

Those watches are junk...smh

[@Asantewarrior]

JHEEZE

[@user-rx3le9oe3k]

فهموني اي ده

[@llewellynam]

You know it would be great to actually be able to find a youtube video with no talking, no wacky noises, JUST the SOUND of A.fib. for Pete's sake! >:(

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

Exactly

[@ahszen]

sound effects are scary
