Atrial flutter is primarily driven by a macroreentrant circuit in the atrium, typically involving the cavotricuspid isthmus, with contributions from structural and electrical remodeling.
Atrial flutter is primarily caused by a macroreentrant circuit in the atrium, typically involving the cavotricuspid isthmus. Structural and electrical remodeling of the atria contributes to its pathophysiology.
