Résumé

Atrial flutter and fibrillation have been inextricably linked in the study of electrophysiology. With astute clinical observation, advanced diagnostic equipment in the Electrophysiology Laboratory, and thoughtful study of animal models, the mechanism and inter-relationship between the 2 conditions have been elucidated and will be reviewed in this article. Though diagnosis and management of these conditions have many similarities, the mechanisms by which they develop and persist are quite unique.
