Ventricular flutter is an extreme form of ventricular tachycardia in which there is a loss of organized electrical activity.[2] Ventricular flutter has no identifiable P-waves, QRS complexes, or T-waves and looks identical when viewed upside down.

Clinical Significance[2]
Clinical Significance[2]
- Ventricular flutter is linked to rapid and profound hemodynamic compromise, and generally quickly progresses to ventricular fibrillation.
- Advanced life support is required for both ventricular flutter and ventricular fibrillation.
