Let's review some key differences between atrial fibrillation vs. atrial flutter... 💓 AFib 🩺: ⚡ Atria receive chaotic, disorganized impulses ⚡ Atrial rate: >400 beats/min (too fast to count!) ⚡ Irregularly irregular rhythm (R-R intervals vary) ⚡ No visible P waves ⚡ Ventricular response rate varies AFlutter 🩺: ⚡ Organized electrical activity ⚡ Atrial rate: 200-350 beats/min ⚡ Regular atrial rhythm (AV node conducts every 2-3 impulses) ⚡ No P waves, but look for the saw-tooth flutter pattern �
