1:1 conduction in AF would require a secondary pathway around the AV node, which can exist but is congenital. You don't "get" it with age or time.

Thanks for that info. My usual afib doesn't run that high. Usually in the 80's and 90's. While I was in the hospital it did occasionally run up pretty high. One time they gave me soup that apparently had msg in it and my HR went up to 185 almost immediately..lol.. I should have known better.Quote

"Rapid ventricular rate" really just means anything over 100. Maybe 150. At those rates, there is long term risk of heart failure.

Interesting. So maybe after 10 years on Flecainide I can stop worrying about 1:1 flutter (on the basis that if it was going to happen it would have by now - I've only taken 60mg diltiazem as a preventative this last 3 years) ??
