This rapid electrical activity causes the heart to pump inefficiently. A common pattern is atrial flutter 2:1 conduction, where only every second atrial beat is transmitted to the ventricles.

Purpose. A case of fatal retroperitoneal hematoma that developed after enoxaparin administration in a woman with paroxysmal atrial flutter and chest pain is reported. Summary. A 63-year-old ...

There, it quietly drives scar tissue buildup-known as fibrosis-distorting the heart's architecture, interfering with electrical signals, and raising the risk of atrial fibrillation (AFib).
