Type I atrial flutter, counterclockwise rotation with 3:1 and 4:1 AV nodal block. Atrial flutter with a two to one block. Note the P waves hiding in the T waves in leads V1 and V2. Type I atrial flutter, also known as common atrial flutter or typical atrial flutter, has an atrial rate of 240 to 340 beats/minute.
The main symptom of AVNRT is the sudden development of rapid regular palpitations. [1] These palpitations may be associated with a fluttering sensation in the neck, caused by near-simultaneous contraction of the atria and ventricles against a closed tricuspid valve leading to the pressure or atrial contraction being transmitted backwards into the venous system.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) would appear as a narrow-complex SVT. Between episodes of tachycardia the affected person is likely to be asymptomatic; however, the ECG would demonstrate the classic delta wave in Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome .
Electrocardiographic features include: [2] Atrial rate: 100 to 250 BPM; Ventricular conduction can be variable Irregular or irregularly irregular in the setting of variable AV block; Regular if 1 to 1, 2 to 1, or 4 to 1 AV block; P wave morphology Unifocal, but similar in morphology to each other; Might be inverted; Differs from normal sinus P wave
[1] [5] People with TIC may have symptoms associated with heart failure (e.g. shortness of breath or ankle swelling) and/or symptoms related to the tachycardia or arrhythmia (e.g. palpitations). [1] [2] Though atrial fibrillation is the most common cause of TIC, several tachycardias and arrhythmias have been associated with the disease. [5] [1]
So if the atrial rate’s higher than 180 bpm, you’ll end up only getting a ratio of atrial beats to ventricular beats like 2:1 or 3:1 in this case. It might make a little more sense if we look at an ECG. Now, normally the depolarization wave originates in the SA node and produces what’s called a P-wave.
[16]:179 This ratio is also frequently specified in referring to 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, or higher Mobitz type II block. Higher numbers of P waves for every QRS indicate more severe block [16]:181 and ratios of 3:1 and above are also referred to as "High Grade" AV Block [18] e60. Of course, because type II Mobitz block is unstable by nature, it is ...
Cutoff values for tachycardia in different age groups are fairly well standardized; typical cutoffs are listed below: [7] [8] 1–2 days: Tachycardia >159 beats per minute (bpm) 3–6 days: Tachycardia >166 bpm; 1–3 weeks: Tachycardia >182 bpm; 1–2 months: Tachycardia >179 bpm; 3–5 months: Tachycardia >186 bpm; 6–11 months: Tachycardia ...
