[Typical and atypical atrial flutters].

Definitions, classification, surface electrocardiographic characterisitics, risk for stroke and treatments. Atrial flutters are macro-reentrant circuits originated from both right and left atria. They have been classified in typical and atypical based on their cavo-tricuspid isthmus-dependence. Typical atrial flutter comprises counterclockwise and clockwise isthmus-dependent atrial flutter located within the right atrium. Atypical atrial flutters are composed by non-isthmus-dependent right atrial flutter and left atrial flutter. Typical atrial flutter represents at least 90% of all flutters, and has usually a counterclockwise pattern. Ablation is a potential definitive therapy for atrial flutter. However, successful procedures as well as complications rates are different depending of the location of the circuit. There are now evidences for risk of stroke related to atrial flutter, although epidemiological studies have not been conducted yet. Therefore, prevention of such complications using anti-thrombotic should be performed as done for atrial fibrillation.

[Paroxysmal palpitations--presentation, diagnostics and management].

Tachycardia is one of the most common cardiac problems of outpatients who present to general practitioners. The underlying cause is usually a supraventricular tachycardia, most of whom are benign. Knowledge of the exact mechanism and presentation of these rhythm disorders aids the physician to guide diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. The ECG demonstrating the tachycardia, is the only way to prove a suspected diagnosis. Further evaluation with non-invasive and invasive diagnostic tools is not always necessary if the diagnosis can be made on the basis of presentation and ECG. Treatment includes reassuring the patient and pharmacological or catheter based therapies. Knowledge of all available treatment strategies and their exact indications is essential for safe and efficient therapy. This article outlines the presentation, diagnostics and management of the most important paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias.

Fetal/neonatal supraventricular tachycardia.

At 38 weeks of gestation, a woman with a previously unremarkable pregnancy was noted to have fetal tachycardia without obvious cause. Fetal echocardiography resulted in a presumptive diagnosis of fetal atrial flutter with a 2:1 block. The newborn resumed the same rhythm. The neonate underwent transesophageal incremental overdrive pacing. A normal sinus rhythm was restored. The infant had no recurrence to age 6 months.
