“…Our definition of AF therefore includes atrial flutter, but these 2 arrhythmias are closely related, often appear in the same patients, and have a similar stroke risk. 14,15 We also used the national register on all prescribed and dispensed drugs. This register covers all purchases of prescribed drugs nationwide and lists information about, for example, date of purchase, dispensed drug, quantity, and dosing instructions.…”

“…7 Atrial flutter (AFL) is less prevalent than AF, but it frequently leads to AF and is associated with a similar increase in the risk of stroke. 8,9 Not surprisingly, the costs of managing AF are substantial, with annual costs estimated at $4700 per patient 10 or $6.65 billion across the United States, 11 largely driven by inpatient hospital admissions. 11,12 Although effective treatments are available to maintain and restore sinus rhythm in AF/AFL patients, 13 these have had little impact on hospitalization rates, which have tended to rise year-on-year.…”

“…Given the high incidence of AF after CTI ablation for typical AFL, correction of 'AF risk factors' may be considered after ablation [74][75][76] Oral anticoagulation may be considered for patients with episodes of atrial flutter 42,43,[77][78][79] Stroke prevention is recommended with the same indications as in AF amongst patients with typical AFL and associated episodes of AF:*…”
