Figure 1: Figure 1:  
Left: atrial activation in typical atrial flutter (AFL). Right: activation in reverse typical AFL. The atria are represented schematically in a left anterior oblique view, from the tricuspid (left) and mitral rings. The endocardium is shaded and the (more ...)
Figure 2: Figure 2:  
A 12 lead ECG in a case of typical type I atrial flutter. The atrial rate is 300 bpm and the ventricular rate is 150 bpm; 2:1 AV block is present. Note that the atrial activity is best seen in leads II, III, and aVF and is barely (more ...)
Figure 3: Figure 3:  
12 lead ECG from a patient with reverse typical atrial flutter confirmed at electrophysiological study. The atrial rate is 266 bpm with 2:1 AV conduction. Note the positive flutter waves in leads II, III, and aVF, and the negative flutter waves (more ...)
Figure 4: Figure 4:  
ECG lead II recorded from a patient with typical atrial flutter (spontaneous atrial cycle length of 264 ms). Rapid atrial pacing from a high right atrial site at a cycle length of 254 ms (not shown), at a cycle length of 242 ms (more ...)
Figure 5: Figure 5:  
Targets for typical or reverse typical atrial flutter ablation. The schematic drawing shows the atria in an anterior view. The endocardium, inside the tricuspid (left) and mitral (right) rings, is shaded. The openings of the inferior vena cava (IVC), (more ...)
