Recurrence rate of atrial flutter after initial presentation in patients on drug treatment
Abstract
Atrial flutter (AFl) recurrence after initial in-patient presentation, cardioversion, and drug treatment is almost universal, often leading to rehospitalization and risk of serious clinical consequences. Radiofrequency ablation of AFl, which has an excellent safety record, should be evaluated as a first-line approach for most patients with AFl.

After a first and only well-tolerated episode of atrial flutter, the recurrence rate may be as high as 90%.
“A first and only well tolerated episode of AFL can be followed with or without AAD prophylactic therapy, but the recurrence rate may be up to 90%.189”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
