Résumé

Atrial flutter is usually associated with tachycardia with a ventricular rate of 150 beats per minute. Less commonly, it may be associated with a slow ventricular response (SVR). This is typically seen in patients taking atrioventricular (AV) nodal blocking agents such as beta-blockers. In the absence of these drugs, atrial flutter with SVR may suggest intrinsic AV nodal disease, electrolyte disturbances, or atrial disease. We present a case of atrial flutter with SVR in a patient who was not receiving AV nodal blocking agents.
