One of the best explanation ( simplified ) of the atrial flutter . Thank you.

Thank you Dr Strong, can always rely on your videos explaining the topic clearly.

Thank you. Dr Strong. The advance seem rather difficult to me. At least I heard this from you :)

Ot is really strong medicine, you gave group of terms that I never heard them before.

Thank you so much it is very informative indeed.

This is the best video about atrial flutter i’ve seen!!
However there are 3 things I didn’t understand:
1) At 6:52 how are the P waves positive in V1 as the impulse comes from the right atrium?
2) At 7:58 how can we know that the waves in V1 are negative? I didn’t quite see an isoelectric line and they had a slow up, fast down pattern that I would’ve associated with positive waves
3) At 10:08 you said that absence of inferior sawtooth is an indication of CTI- independent, but doesn’t the reverse typical one also have positive waves in the inferior leads?

Thank you in advance doctor😌

well explained way for understanding atrial flutter sub types. I would like to hear from you effects of anti-arrhythmic effect on AFL rate and morphology. Sometimes it becomes so difficult to even distinguish from sinus rhythm for patients under amiodarone.

Thank you Dr strong. Great job... I would like to ask you to make a video on how differentiate between bidirectional v tach & bigeminy by ekg

Awesome video Sir, but there must be clockwise and anticlockwise atrial flutters too.. How to recognize them if they are left atrial or right atrial.. Depending upon V1?

Why this ECG on 10:12 not considered reverse typical atrial flutter ? It has positive waves in the inferior leads and negative waves in V1😅

[rezhirali]

The ecg paper for counter clockwise and clockwise are reversed

Dr. Strong, I had an EKG the other day that the cardiologist read as 2:1 atypical aflutter. I was always told that 2:1 aflutter would typically have a heart rate of 150. This guy was 120-130 all night. Why is this different in atypical aflutter?

I was wondering where J. S. Bach disappeared.. why no more Bach?!
