Atrial Flutter • LITFL • ECG Library Diagnosis Atrial flutter is a form of supraventricular tachycardia caused by a re-entry circuit within the right atrium The length of the re-entry circuit corresponds to the size of the right atrium, resulting in a fairly predictable atrial rate of around 300 bpm (range 200-400)
