Overview
Its first description a century ago, our understanding of atrial flutter (AFL) has evolved, from a relatively simple and unique electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern corresponding to a right atrial macroreentry, to a variety of atrial tachycardias (ATs) originating from the right atrium as well as the left atrium, and resulting from different mechanisms. The use of multielectrodes catheters and the recent development of sophisticated computerized electroanatomical mapping with virtual anatomical chambers reconstruction and fusion with the actual anatomical radiological image has improved our knowledge of AFL circuits and foci location. These technological improvements have also facilitated curative treatment with radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation while simultaneously creating some terminological and conceptual confusion about its nature.
