In this episode of Good Reads, we discuss Atrial Flutter. Learn about the re-entry loop in the right atrium, the formation of flutter waves, and the physiologic AV nodal blockade that leads to 2 to 1 conduction. Discover how to identify Atrial Flutter on a 12 lead ECG, particularly using the Bix rule, and recognize the typical atrial and ventricular rates. This video is a sneak peek into our comprehensive 12-lead ECG class coming to FOAMfrat Studio.
