Abstract
In this 2-center cohort of ED patients with atrial flutter, patients eligible for rhythm control had a higher success and lower admission rate with electrocardioversion than patients treated with antiarrhythmic medications. Overall, the majority of patients were discharged home. Deaths were typically related to concurrent medical illness rather than atrial flutter.
