title: [Chronic atrial flutter: an infrequent manifestation of sick sinus syndrome. Clinical case].
abstract: We report a 41 years old female, previously operated of an atrial septal defect, presenting with a persisting atrial flutter. Sinus node dysfunction became evident during an electrophysiological study at the moment of interrupting the flutter with electrical stimulation. The patient was treated with his bundle ablation and implantation of a definitive pacemaker. After one year of follow up, she is devoid of symptoms.
