[Next cardioversion or RF ablation in professional driver with recurrent typical atrial flutter and MAS syndromes].
We describe a 42-year-old professional driver with hypertension, obesity and recurrent episodes of highly symptomatic typical atrial flutter. Despite chronic sotalol treatment, 1:1 AV conduction with RBBB-morphology was observed. After excluding of thrombus in the heart chambers, the 'urgent' and successful RF ablation was performed.
