Dr. Hugh Calkins answers the question: 'Atrial Fibrillation vs. Atrial Flutter?' — -- Question: My doctor told me I sometimes have atrial fibrillation and at other times have atrial flutter. What ...

Atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation (AFib) both occur when the electrical signals that make your heart chambers contract occur faster than normal. However, they differ in how this electrical ...

Atrial flutter is an abnormal heart rhythm where the upper heart chambers beat too fast, reducing the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively and potentially leading to heart muscle damage, stroke, ...

Our annual supplement on local health and wellness services and issues can be found inside today’s paper. It was pretty alarming, watching the heart monitor trace a crazy series of bumps and dips ...

When your electrical system is working normally, the two upper chambers of the heart (atria) contract and pump blood into the two lower chambers (ventricles) in a well-coordinated way. This results in ...

Atrial flutter is a heart disorder in which the heart beats out of its normal rhythm. The condition is similar to atrial fibrillation (afib) — the most common type of arrhythmia (abnormal heartbeat) — ...
