ABSTRACT

Atrial flutter is characterized by rapid atrial activity, causing an abnormal heart rhythm. Recognition and prompt management are of utmost importance since this cardiac arrhythmia could increase the risk of thromboembolic stroke and atrial fibrillation, which may lead to disability and death. Risk factors include myocardial infarction, surgery, medication, and structural heart abnormalities. One distinctive structural abnormality is dextrocardia. Herein, we present a case of a 47-year-old male who initially complains of difficulty in ambulation. Further workup showed atrial flutter with rapid ventricular response on electrocardiogram (ECG) and dextrocardia on imaging. This case tackles the possible association between dextrocardia and arrhythmias, which was an atrial flutter, its management, and treatment outcomes.
