Multifocal atrial tachycardia is a tachycardic version of wandering atrial pacemaker in which the atrial rate is greater than 100 beats per minute. Multifocal atrial tachycardia occurs when multiple ...

3. Premature supraventricular beat with aberrancy (left bundle branch block pattern). Multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT) occurs when multiple areas (ectopic foci) within the atrium generate ...

When your electrical system is working normally, the two upper chambers of the heart (atria) contract and pump blood into the two lower chambers (ventricles) in a well-coordinated way. This results in ...

Atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation (AFib) both occur when the electrical signals that make your heart chambers contract occur faster than typical. However, they differ in the organization of ...

We reviewed randomized controlled trials, review articles and clinical practice guidelines to present a practical approach to the diagnosis and management of SVTs (Box 1). We focus on the most common ...

Several ECG markers of atrial or AV nodal mechanical/substrate/electrical conduction abnormalities have been related to both incident AF and stroke. P terminal force ...

Dr. Glenn Brammer, a board-certified cardiologist and electrophysiologist, performed the first atrial flutter ablation in Augusta Health’s new Electrophysiology Lab on Oct. 24. Atrial flutter is a ...

Atrial flutter is an abnormal heart rhythm where the upper heart chambers beat too fast, reducing the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively and potentially leading to heart muscle damage, stroke, ...

Atrial flutter is a heart disorder in which the heart beats out of its normal rhythm. The condition is similar to atrial fibrillation (afib) — the most common type of arrhythmia (abnormal heartbeat) — ...
