Atrial flutter

In this video, Dr Sanjay Gupta, consultant cardiologist explains a heart condition called atrial flutter. Atrial flutter is an abnormal heart rhythm which can cause symptoms of heart palpitations. In atrial flutter,the atria contract at 300 beats per minute and every other impulse goes down into the ventricles and therefore the ventricles beat at 150 beats per minute. In patients who are taking medications such as beta blockers or calcium blockers the impulses reaching the ventricles may be reduced even more so the heart rate can be even lower than 150/min but basically as doctors whenever we see a heart rate of about 150 in a patient complaining of heart palpitations, we think of atrial flutter as the likely underlying heart rhythm disturbance.

[@antoineduchamp4931]

Such a calm, perfectly reasoned and utterly clear presentation of this condition: delivered in a way that is easily understood by patients, yet never failing to incorporate all the clinical details which are so important. Explanations of medical conditions, delivered with this degree of clarity, are extremely rare, and make Dr. Gupta a very special person, and a very special doctor.

VERY WELL SAID, CAN I JUST SAY DITTO ❤

[@pamgreatorex2016]

Such a clear explanation of atrial flutter. I had sudden onset of AFL on a Friday afternoon and was taken to hospital where IV Amiodorone x 2 was unsuccessful. I was admitted to coronary care and the next day had a cardioversion which was successful, and it was so good to have a quiet heart again. My cardiologist refused me an ablation since I hadn’t ‘earned’ it.😡 My GP referred me to a new cardiologist who performed the ablation procedure and I had no more AFL. I should say that I had open heart surgery at 11 to repair an ASD which caused scarring on the heart and predisposed me to arrhythmias later in life. Two years later I developed sick sinus syndrome and had a permanent pacemaker implanted the day after the Holter monitor results came back. Within six months I developed a DVT in the left innominate vein where the pacemaker leads were. Shortness of breath, swelling of the left side of my neck and jugular vein distension were all plain to see. My ‘new’ cardiologist said my SOB was due to de-conditioning and referred me to a psychiatrist. Subsequently I developed SVC syndrome (missed by this cardiologist) when the thrombus in the vein extended into the SVC. I had urgent surgery to correct this with a graft from the saphenous vein to restore the diameter of the vessel. Still I was told that doing a bypass of the blocked vein would not help my breathlessness, which was causing a decline in my quality of life and was disabling me. I had given up my teaching career and we had moved to a one storey apartment as I could no longer cope with stairs. I planned my funeral as I thought that I would die before I found a solution. My by now new cardiologist never gave up on me. He sought a second opinion and we found a brilliant surgeon who deals with difficult cases. A formal venogram showed a central venous obstruction of the left innominate vein which was now a ‘stump’ and not suitable for percutaneous stenting. My new surgeon performed a left innominate vein bypass with a Gor-tex pipe and by the afternoon of surgery the redness and swelling had subsided. My shortness of breath disappeared. I am now really well, going to the gym and enjoying life, and planning an overseas trip. I’m sorry this is such a long story but I thought you might be interested in hearing about my case which is apparently quite rare. I’ve had a hard time with cardiologists but my psychiatrist was responsible for referring me to my current cardiologist who actually listens to what I say and doesn’t have preconceived ideas. Just because I didn’t fit the usual picture he kept working on my case. I love your videos and your clear explanations. I have had more problems with my heart than most cardiac patients and I always learn something new from you. Thank you for what you do.

Pam Greatorex- I ‘enjoyed’ reading your entry only because, though it was well written, clear, and interesting; it helped me to feel that someone else has experienced some reservations about the cardiologist they are working with here and there. I moved so had to find a new one. Based on my experience with the sourpuss god complex of this new one I will be getting a new one. Thank you, you, you give me confidence.

[@knucklesamidge]

Just wanted to say thank you so much. We had a call on the phone a few months ago about my non-stop palpitations, and after your reassurance they all disappeared within 24 hours and haven't been back since. Very quick and effective treatment (mental treatment!) and I would highly recommend anyone with the same issue to listen to this man and possibly book a consultation like I did. Thanks again.

Very well said! Last year I went into heart failure from prolonged a-fib. They think I was going in and out of a-fib for several months. While I was in heart failure, I had several runs of a-flutter. Worst feeling I’ve ever had in my life. Luckily, the a-flutter passed, I was given medication to control the a-fib, and I’m having an ablation next month to hopefully keep it from happening again. Don’t ignore this stuff. I’m lucky that my heart failure was reversed. According to my doctor, most people are not that lucky

Im the one out of a 100 that had nothing wrong with my heart but got a flutter anyway outta the blue, my cardiologist says an ablation will cure it, we'll see. I've done all the tests, twice, this happened about two months ago, they have me on beta blockers calcium blockers blood thinners, even though my score for stroke risk is 0, I'm gonna have the ablation and pray I'm done with taking these medications and done with an outta control heart, I have plenty of scars around my heart so what's one more

[@michael13450]

Idk if I have afib or a flutter. I just feel flutters by my heart rate always remains below 80bpm

[@Optimization_Coach]

Had 4 surgeries for athletic injuries in 9 months. Prior to the 4th surgery I told the anestheia folks I was concerned about too much anesthesia in a short period of time. I was on no drugs, healthy and normal blood labs at 56 years old. After surgery they said all was well and I could go home. I was dressed and they came back and said they recommended an exit EKG... I was curious why, but agreed. Well I was in A Flutter. Off to the ER, totally asymptomatic. 4 days later I was cardioverted and back in sinus rhythm. They could not find anything wrong at all and the Dx was ANESTHESIA induced A Flutter. WOW... Still only have an Ejection Fraction of 40-45 but feel great as always. No meds and no flutter or abnormal rhythms for 2 years now. This may help folks headed for surgery somehow.

[@donwilkinson6450]

One of the clearest explanations of atrial flutter. It focuses on flutter while too many presentations mix in atrial fib and confuse the issue. Well done. Clear and concise.

[@karlaelvis9815]

Thank you for stressing that "treating the underlying cause" is key; when I recently asked my GP "don't you want to identify the CAUSE of the Afib?" He replied "often we can't do that - besides, body parts wear out over time". This statement, without even TRYING to identify any cause, save for a thyroid test. Listening to Dr. Gupta's videos, I have identified several potential triggers and am working to eliminate/reduce those. Additionally, I recognize that the Vagus nerve is a culprit in my condition... so I am investigating that avenue. As always, Dr. Gupta is an amazing resource in our journey with Afib.

[@lorigarrett3780]

I think the correlation between sleep apnea and a-flutter and a-fib is spot on. Once the amount of time wearing my C-pap improved so did the number of a-fib episodes. I had a cardio aversion a yr ago and so far no more flutter. If a-fib does start it’s shorter & so far, doesn’t require a trip to the ER. I just tolerate that and the ectopic beats and it subsides usually under an hr. I do have asthma and have it under control with beudesonide in a nebulizer. Thank you for addressing a-flutter and mentioning how important anti coagulants are.

[@Jkstolz]

I have flutters once a week, or so. My heart is structurally normal. My lungs are very large and normal. I lose weight overnight and wonder why.. and I have nightmares, which is stressful. Ugh this sucks when it happens from just leaning over! I’m only 41 years old. My head also hurts daily- nightly it’s pressure. I’m on no medication because they can’t find anything wrong. If I take medicine my body does the flutter. My flutter is like a birds wings it shakes my whole midsection and it’s visible and I lay down to make it go away. I feel normal during this.

[@annawarner1078]

I had atrial flutter three weeks ago and cardiologist who have seen me recommended ablation. I believe that my atrial flutter was triggered by botched bridge replacement by the dentist which resulted in my face swelling 3 weeks after bridge was replaced. I had to use antibiotics, the swelling disappeared in about 10 days, but 5 weeks after the bridge replacement (2 weeks after use of antibiotics) I had atrial flutter (114/80/157) and ended in emergency.

[@AngieStonesPhD]

What I like about Dr. Gupta is that he always tries to reassure patients that the worst is not the worst, so basically, he says:" X can happen but...". This is always so positive for people who are suffering any of these scary symptoms. Really great video (as the others are).

I've lived with your wonderful videos since I was diagnosed with AFIB about 5 years ago. Seems like its a permanent thing for me but I have few symptoms. Fear of blood clots and strokes are always there and serves as a reminder to take the meds and exercise as instructed. I wish you were my Cardiologist!

[@bretthumphries7911]

Very informative, thanks. I have atrial flutter, so I will be undergoing cardio version in a few weeks. Sounds like a lifetime of meds are my future?

[@Wendib711]

This was an excellent look at Atrial Flutter. I was diagnosed with Atrial flutter after my heart was staying at 140-170 bpm. I went to the emergency room when my heart rate would not come down. They did the necessary tests and decided to do medicines which were successful, but within hours after discharge, my heart took off again. I went back to the ER and I was kept in the ER for two days under constant monitoring. They then decided to do cardio conversion and that seemed to work and I was discharged. The follow-up with cardiology lead to holter monitoring/EKG where they saw the the flutter and that lead to Atrial Flutter Ablation, which solved the issue, but on another EKG, they saw that I was now dealing with SVT and it was back to the cath lab for SVT ablation. Both procedures were painless and both ablations have been successful. You discussion helped me validate what I learned on the net and what my doctors told me. Thank you for your wonderful talks and you certainly helped me through my 2 procedures.

[@presley007]

How are you know?

[@devineescape3852]

Thank you very much doctor.

[@kaa1135]

Thanks Doc! Your channel is really helpful! Just to show how many variables can exist, I have AFIB controlled with Flecanide, had flutter occur, cardioverted, flutter returned within 3 weeks, scheduled for ablation next week, it will be both Cryo balloon for the afib, and radio frequency for the flutter. Surgeon says my profile puts me at a 60% success rate for first ablation. My flutter feels more like intermittent (persistent) palpitations with a slow heart rate (54-79), rather than fast heart beats, I presume this is due to the flecanide and metropolol I am on. I have sleep apnea controlled with a bi-pap machine, high bp, and diabetes. Diabetes controlled well with a 6.1 A1C, bp controlled with Lisinopril & metropolol.

[@elizabethr633]

I have had some vibrations in my chest when I lay down feels like it’s comes from my heart. I have been going to a UCLA Cardiologist for heart related issues after a year of tests he said function is fine besides the skipped beats here & there. I have learned to live with the thumps all night however the vibrations are keeping me up at night? Thought it was atrial flutter what could it be

[@Calvotribe]

Do you still have these? I feel like I get the same thing. Like a pounding or vibration at night. My heart rate goes up but only between 90-110. But I feel like my chest/back is pounding/vibrating/shaking faster.

[@cube1us]

I’m one of those AFL patients with a pretty normal heart. History of AF and a good ablation in LA 11 years ago, with a small to moderately enlarged LA, but otherwise stucturally robust. Ablation in RA has not stopped it so far, nor has flecainide. Hoping dofetilide (in 3 weeks) will restore NSR. My AFL comes in 2:1 or 3:1 bursts of a few seconds to a minute, then turns into AF making it hard for an EP to map.

[@danabevan5179]

Can you give me some references about the success and side effects of atrial flutter ablation? There are lots of citations for ablation for afib. I see a lot of statistics thrown around but cannot find a citation on Pubmed or elsewhere. There is one citation but it is in German.

[@gondwanalon]

Thank you very much. In atrial flutter is the 300 atrial bpm an average? In some people with atrial flutter can the atrium beat at a lower rate like around 200 bpm?

[@mR-dc4oq]

Thank you- had an ablation 14 years ago for a fib and a flutter- more recently I began to have multiple episodes of a fib and a flutter. You have clarified a lot for me and educated me much better than my own doctor even bothered to try- which pretty much he did not.

[@szithaanu9934]

I get regular ectopics, skipped and extra beats, which I've accepted and they don't bother me too much anymore. But occasionally I get a sensation that I have yet to see or hear described. It only lasts maybe one or two seconds but it's a light squeezing sensation in my heart. I wouldn't describe it as pain but it's uncomfortable, a feeling that somethings not quite right. When this occurs I have no pulse, then an irregular pulse for a few seconds and everything goes back to normal. The pulse rate doesn't raise in these incidents. These episodes can happen two or three times in a minute and then I might not get one for a few more days or even a few weeks. There's no obvious triggers. It happens when I'm at rest, when walking and when exercising. I've had all the tests done and nothing ever showed up. My heart structure is normal and I've been assured that there's nothing wrong. Any ideas?

[@nerychristian]

I have very irregular heart beats too. Especially when I exercise. I also usually get them in the morning. It can be scary. Even though they are not painful, it feels scary because it feels like my heart is going to stop beating. I get very weak skipped beats or flutters. But I began to take a drug called Mildronate and it helps.

[@stevecam724]

I''ve suffered from a-fib for many years and 12 months ago started suffering extreme amounts of flutter 48 to 60 hours in every 72. I've had ablation in both a-fib and flutter but the flutter has returned. It's not as bad as before but l'm in and out all day long and any large heart rate rise will trigger flutter.

[@spinedoc18]

I've been on Eliquis since May and my most recent blood test had elevated liver enzymes and very low platelets. I'm also on 1.25 mg Cardiloc. Since May my resting pulse has decreased from the 130s to the 80s (usually) all the while still on the same medications. The cardiologist says I have atrial flutter and wants to do an ablation. I feel that the medications have decreased my quality of health and wish to get off them. Other than that my quality of life is good. If getting an ablation does not reduce the risk of stroke, is a relatively risky invasive procedure, and I'm not suffering quality of life issues, then why do it? I don't want pills and procedures. I went all through my 50s without so much as taking headache medication. I think my current situation is due to chronic long term stress coupled with inadequate sleep which I am working to correct.

Am on diuretics, but if they want to add digoxin, are there any alternatives? I had a horrible GI reaction to it and don't want to go thru that again.

[@yiasou1027]

I have atrial flutter. Since this is a problem of the right atrium wouldn't a blood clot most likely lodge in the lungs instead of making it all the way to the brain? I know that this could kill you but it is not as much of a stroke risk as a clot from the left atrium, right? My problem at the moment is that I had to be taken off of all blood thinners due to being anemic. Hopefully the anemia will improve so that I can go back on anti-coagulant therapy.

Question about Atrial Flutter in relation to a missing or damaged sinus node due to myxoma removal open heart surgery I’ve had 2 continuous episodes of atrial flutter in the year following open heart surgery that went on for a week+ the first was treated with beta blockers which I did not tolerate well and then another the second went on for 7 days At that time I had an ablation and they cut 2 flutter circuits. Wondering what the likelihood of these being a life long problem?

[@thisandthat9710]

The sudden onset and sudden end to atrial flutter sounds exactly like PSVT which can also be 150 or higher bpm. I guess the big difference is PSVT is usually in a structurally normal heart. If caught on EKG, then whether such a tachycardia is a SVT or flutter , then it can be diagnosed, correct?

I never had this untill after heart surgery having my aorta replaced and also arteries bypassed.

Very helpful, just diagnosed this week

Is there a genetic factor? My Mom had Afib and lung disease, my younger, fit, brother has Afib, and now I am diagnosed with atrial flutter.

[@nerychristian]

If you are all having afib, maybe it is diet or lifestyle. What is the diet of the family?

I was just diagnosed with a-flutter, this is very helpful, thank you.

[@IrishBoson]

In a prior video of yours, you mentioned you didn't believe Atrial Fib was the true cause of strokes, rather a marker for patients who are at a higher risk of stroke because of other core health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, age etc (factors that increase CHA2DS2-VASc score). Does your theory hold true for flutter?

Can the ER physician pick this up on a standard EKG?

[@mnnomad1870]

@@destinationmobileone5476 Actually what I have is below my breast bone and to the left and I've been diagnosed with stomach spasm in that area in association with gastric reflux disease. A couple of years ago they got increasingly worse and I went to the ER and during the "spasm" I would have PVC. Now it's acting up again a bit worse when I lay on the left side. I was in to the ER EKG was normal markers were normal I had two PVCs which I didn't even feel so it's like the stomach spasm is causing the PVC. Almost typical to Dr. Gupta's video on the gastrocardiac syndrome but still scary when they seem to come out of nowhere. Thanks for your reply 💓

If I go on blood pressure medicine and I then have panic will my blood pressure stay in normal range if I check it during panic ? Thank you

[@rainbird8370]

Expat Esquire-I’m not the doc, but I can tell you from experience that the answer to your question is an unequivocal, “no”. Medication is only one piece of the puzzle. Practice alternating nostril breathing and build up to two twenty minute sessions daily, upon waking and before sleep. This has immediate, as well as long lasting effects. Saved my life.
