[Atrial flutter with paroxysmal 1:1 atrioventricular conduction].
Three patients with "lone" paroxysmal atrial flutter complicated by paroxysms of 1:1 AV conduction are presented. One patient (42 years of age) had been misdiagnosed as an neurotic for 18 years. The mechanism, diagnosis and treatment of the condition are outlined. The most characteristic symptoms are dizzy spells and fainting. The recommended diagnostic procedures include long term ECG recording by telemetry or Holter, exercise-ECG and oesophageal-ECG.
