Question 3

Typical flutter occurs in the

Answer 3

Right atrium

Question 4

Typical flutter uses what band of tissue as the pathway of slow conduction?

Answer 4

CTI

Cavotricuspid isthmus

Question 5

Where is the CTI located?

Answer 5

Between the IVC and tricuspid valve (TVA)

Question 6

Atypical flutter can occur

Answer 6

Anywhere in the atrium

Does not utilize the CTI as a slow conduction area

Question 7

Atyp flutter is often facilitated by

Answer 7

Scar tissue

Question 8

In flutter the IVC is

Answer 8

One end of the CTI, tissue in the IVC is non conductive
