ATRIAL FLUTTER WITH RE ENTRY CYCLE IN THE INTERATRIAL SEPTUM: TWO ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL TYPES
Abstract
Two case reports of atrial flutter with verified re entry circuits at the right and left sides of interatrial septum are given; surface ECG characteristics are described and areas of slow conduction are shown; linear catheter ablations of them led to successful recovery from tachyarrhythmias.
