Laboratory studies in patients with [[atrial flutter]] include:
* [[Complete blood count]] - to look for [[anemia]]
* [[Complete blood count]] is routinely done to look for [[anemia]]
* Differential count - in [[pericarditis]]
* Differential count to look for elevated white cell count in infectious causes like [[pericarditis]]
* Thyroid function tests - to look for [[hyperthyroidism]]
* Thyroid function tests are done to look for [[hyperthyroidism]], which is a potential cause of atrial flutter
* Blood gas analysis is done to look for [[hypoxia]] and carbonmonoxide poisoning
* Blood gas analysis is done to look for [[hypoxia]] and carbonmonoxide poisoning
* [[ESR]]
