[D] AV Node
Atrial flutter causes in congenital heart disease
Atrial flutter causes in congenital heart disease
Atrial flutter causes
- Atrial flutter – tends to reflect right atrial abnormalities
- Atrial fibrillation – tends to reflect left atrial abnormalities
Conditions of congenital heart disease in which atrial flutter is most likely
- Mustard/Senning repairs of TGA,
- Repaired or unrepaired ASDs
- Repaired tetralogy of Fallot
- Ebstein anomaly of the tricuspid valve
- After a Fontan operation
Atrial flutter may reflect hemodynamic deterioration in patients who have had Mustard, Senning, tetralogy of Fallot, or Fontan repairs.
Gerbode defect
Gerbode defect is defined as abnormal shunting between the left ventricle and right atrium resulting from either a congenital defect or prior cardiac insults
