ABSTRACT
We present a case of a 68-year-old man with a history of myocardial infarction, and CABG procedure in the past who experienced bradycardic atrial flutter manifested by pre-syncope events and palpitations. The patient underwent a successful procedure of a catheter RF ablation with a subsequent implantation of a DDDR pacemaker. In the article, we discuss a need for specific treatment recommendations in case of atrial flutter with slow ventricular response.
