What are the characteristic echocardiographic findings in patients with atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation?
Echocardiography can identify specific undulatory motions of the left atrial wall and septum in atrial flutter, offering potential diagnostic value when electrocardiograms are nondiagnostic.
Zoneraich et al. (1975) studied this question.
