What Is an Atrial Flutter Consultation?

An Atrial Flutter consultation focuses on evaluating rapid or irregular heart rhythms originating from the upper chambers of the heart. Providers assess symptoms such as palpitations, chest sensations, fatigue, or shortness of breath to determine whether they may be caused by Atrial Flutter or another type of arrhythmia.

The goal is to identify risk factors, review potential triggers, determine the urgency of care, and guide safe next steps to protect long-term heart health.

What We Review During Your Consultation:
  • Episodes of rapid or irregular heartbeat
  • Associated symptoms such as dizziness or shortness of breath
  • History of heart disease, stroke, or arrhythmias
  • Current heart medications and effectiveness
  • Possible triggers such as stress, caffeine, or electrolyte imbalance
  • Need for ECG, cardiac monitoring, or cardiology evaluation
  • Stroke risk assessment and prevention strategies
