@rushhome Generally A-flutter is lumped in with A-fib as A-flutter is also associated with an increased risk of stroke due to the formation of clots associated with either arrhythmia. The medical treatment would be pretty much the same, including blood thinner use for those with higher risk of stroke than just having the arrhythmias. The difference would be important for ablation purposes.
I've had both A-flutter and A-fib, along with my old friend atrial tachycardia. You could tell the difference on an EKG, but I'll be doggoned if they feel any different from each other when I'm having them! Except from my pacemaker reports it looks as though I don't even feel the A-fib all the time.
