Have you felt your heart skip, flutter, or do a “flip-flop” when you’re barely active? It could be a sign of atrial fibrillation, a common but serious irregular heart rhythm. 🫀💥 Watch cardiac electrophysiologist Dr Pipin Kojodjojo explain the causes of these chaotic heartbeats and how cardiac catheter ablation uses thousands of micro “lightning bolts” to reset your heart’s natural rhythm. | Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital

🔵 Atrial Flutter: Fast, Regular, and Recognizable! 🌀 What is it? A rapid, regular atrial rhythm with classic sawtooth waves on ECG. ⚡ Why it matters: Caused by a reentrant circuit—leads to atrial rates of 250–350 bpm and risk of stroke. 💡 Management Highlights: Acute: Cardioversion if unstable Rate control: Beta-blockers, CCBs, digoxin Rhythm control: Antiarrhythmics, ablation Stroke prevention: Anticoagulate per CHA2DS2-VASc ❗ Complications: Stroke, heart failure, tachycardia-induced cardiom
