The rate of auricular contractions in flutter ranges from 220 to 4002or over, in untreated cases, while the ventricular response is usually slower. The auriculo-ventricular ratio is 2 : 1, 3 : 1, or 4 : 1; rarely it may be 6 : 1 or 8 : 1 as...References1. MCMILLANBELLET TMS: Auricular flutter, Am. Jr. Med. Sci., 1932, clxxxiv, 33-57.
