Abstract:
The review provides current ideas about the etiology and prevalence of atrial flutter (AF), mechanism and substrate of arrhythmogenesis, and principles of clinical and electrophysiological classification of this arrhythmia. Methods for conservative and surgical treatments of AF, including their comparative aspect, are described in detail. The review presented recent data on efficacy and potential risks of different approaches to reversing the arrhythmia. The authors indicated a need for early diagnosis and strict control of the sinus rhythm in AF, which would help a successful intervention not only to completely cure the existing arrhythmia but also to prevent other heart rhythm disorders, primarily atrial fibrillation.
