Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the activation sequence of typical atrial flutter (AFL) in the right atrium, focusing on the lesser-known areas beyond the tricuspid annulus.
- Researchers used intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and mapping techniques to analyze conduction blocks during AFL in 21 patients.
- Findings reveal that the conduction block occurs at the septal edge of the crista terminalis or in the posteroseptal right atrium, rather than directly at the crista terminalis itself.
Introduction: Dual AV nodal physiology is the electrophysiologic substrate for AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), but the anatomic basis for this arrhythmia remains to be elucidated. Atrial flutter (AFL) has been shown to be more frequently inducible in patients with AVNRT.
