Overview
Atrial flutter is caused by a re-entrant rhythm in either the right or left atrium. Causes of atrial flutter can be grouped into two categories, intrinsic diseases and abnormalities of the heart and diseases elsewhere in the body that can affect the heart. Most common causes of atrial flutter are coronary artery disease, hypertensive heart disease and valve abnormalities of the heart.
Causes
Common Causes
Common causes of atrial flutter include:
- Myocardial ischemia
- Acute coronary sydromes
- Hypertension
- Mitral valve abnormalities
- Congenital heart disease
- Hyperthyroidism
- COPD
