I was in a heart beat run averaging about 125BPM or 36 hours or so. When I went to EP Monday, he said there was need to cardio convert (would have been a first for me),
but that night HR went back to my normal 60 naturally. In times past, my BP machine which shows irregular beat, was not showing a broken beat pattern just a fast one.
But maybe machine getting old??? Or maybe I was in Atrial Flutter...Is that less detectable to machine? And is AFlutter likely to be a little less symtomatic than Afib....to which in times past I have been extremely symptomatc.

Yeah, flutter may be less symptomatic than afib, but it's still no walk in the park and it has all the same risks (stroke, heart failure if left uncontrolled, etc).[/quote
Not that I know, but surely the atria just quivering with AF implies a much higher thrombus formation risk than AFlutter?

Agreed, but I think it's bound to come in degrees, and if so then flutter is bound to pump at least a little better than afib since it is a normal, coordinated sinus beat with a P wave.
