Rapid, regular atrial depolarisation is seen to proceed around the right atrium until sinus rhythm is restored by blocking the flutter circuit (see pp. 116117). Fig. 3 AF suppression pacemaker.

This strip of tissue can be targeted for radiofrequency ablation, a potentially curative treatment for this arrhythmia Atrial fibrillation and flutter epidemiology and mechanisms Atrial fibrillation is caused by multiple, interlacing re-entry circuits involving predominantly the left atrium. Risk factors include age, hypertension, mitral . . . . . . proceed around the right atrium until sinus rhythm is restored by blocking the flutter circuit (see pp. 116117).
