Atrial flutter is a chronic heart condition where the upper chambers of the heart (atria) beat in a rapid, uncontrolled manner. It is assessed by a specialist. When symptoms worsen, it's important to seek care sooner. To confirm or rule out atrial flutter, tests like rate control and anticoagulation by the CHA2DS2-VASc score are used. Treatment is decided by a healthcare provider after confirming the diagnosis, but specific dosing information is not provided. The 2023 ACC/AHA/ACCP/HRS AF guideline (flutter section) outlines the management of atrial flutter.
