RESUMO
O flutter atrial é uma arritmia que ocorre predominantemente em portadores de cardiopatia. Este artigo relata o caso de paciente portador de cardiopatia reumática com duas trocas de valvas (aórtica e mitral), a última delas ocorrida há 10 anos, com palpitações e congestão sistêmica. A suspeição inicial foi de taquicardia paroxística supraventricular (TPSV), tendo sido tentada a cardioversão com adenosina, sem sustentação. O eletrocardiograma (ECG) foi revisto, e o diagnóstico estabelecido foi de flutter atrial. A cardioversão elétrica foi realizada nove dias após sua admissão, tendo sido obtida a sustentação do ritmo sinusal.
ABSTRACT
Atrial flutter is an arrhythmia that occurs predominantly in patients with previous heart disease. This article reports the case of a patient with rheumatic heart disease and with two exchanged valves, the aortic and mitral, and the last exchange procedure took place ten years ago, with the placement of metallic prostheses. The first diagnosis was paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) and it was attempted cardioversion with adenosine, without success. The electrocardiogram (ECG) was revised and atrial flutter was diagnosed. Electrical cardioversion was performed after 9 days in hospital, and the rhythm was sustained.
