AFFIRM specifically enrolled patients with atrial fibrillation, not flutter. The trial has no place in this article. If you are aware of a trial that looked at mortality outcomes with atrial flutter (cardioversion vs. rate-control) I would like to read it. Axl 20:33, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

An image of the action of the heart during flutter would greatly improve this article. Exploding Boy 23:50, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Symptoms section appears to be missing some text at the start

I've addressed the symptoms section... I would argue that it should be kept pretty simple. The issue of AV conduction block needs to be dealt with somewhere early in the mechanism section and not just at the end in the section on treatment with rate control... I'll try to come back and address this soon.Toombes 03:11, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ECG criteria

doi:doi:10.1016/j.amjmed.2006.06.013 - ECG criteria need revising; F waves in the frontal plane are the most specific. JFW | T@lk 14:32, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
