PIP ended up in Atrial Flutter for me recently and I had to get cardioverted back to NSR, I had been weaning off Flec for a couple of months while maximizing the Essential Trio for about 6 months. Went into afib while taking just 35 mg. bid, I was hoping to at least get it totally out of my system but things happen so I did the 25 bb and 200mg of Flec. Should I have taken less for a better outcome?

Too little or too slow or too late & the AF sustains. Too much and the risk of organizing & the conversion is to AFlutter. And, just because the flecainide seems to have lost its controlling efficacy, if it had been working in the past one need not despair. AF, as any experiencer can relate, is a fickle fibrillation -- a flecainide failure does not preclude future continued effectiveness.

AFlutter - REGULAR with NO variation beat to beat. Atrial rate 250-300 and can be conducted through from the atria to the ventricles at 4:1, 2:1 or, and what no-one wants - 1:1.

That's my take! No doubt someone will chime in if I'm wrong (-:
