Show answer ECG definition of atrial flutter is atrial rate more than 240 bpm and no isoelectric line between p waves. Atrial tachycardia will have rate between 120 to 240 bpm with clear isoelectric line between p waves. However, these two ECG criteria are not specific for any of them. Atrial tachycardia with higher heart rate is possible and atrial flutter with lower heart rate is possible. Atrial flutter may have an isoelectric line between p waves because of atriotomy scars causing conduction block. More important is to identify mechanism of atrial tachycardia during electrophysiological study. Electrophysiological study gives us a better idea regarding mechanism of atrial tachycardia. Atrial tachycardia can be focal or macroreentrant. Focal can be because of automaticity, triggered activity or microreentrant cause. Coming to this case, Here, atrial
