In 11 patients with common type of atrial flutter (common AF), rapid atrial pacing from the high right atrium was performed before and/or after class Ia antiarrhythmic drug administration, confirming transient entrainment by decreasing the pacing cycle length by 10 ms. In 10 patients before the drug administration, common AF was not interrupted although the pacing cycle length was decreased to 200 ms in 5 patients, accelerated atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation was induced in 4 patients, and common AF was converted into sinus rhythm in only 1 patient. After the drug administration common AF was converted into sinus rhythm in 5 out of 6 patients. The class Ia antiarrhythmic drug prolonged the common AF cycle length (255 +/- 12 ms vs. 298 +/- 37 ms, p less than 0.005) and widened the entrainment zone (64 +/- 7 ms vs. 90 +/- 20 ms, p less than 0.05). The widening of the entrainment zone and the prolongation of the common AF cycle length facilitate the successful conversion of common AF at a longer pacing cycle length, which would not precipitate atrial fibrillation or accelerated atrial flutter. The combination therapy of rapid atrial pacing and the class Ia antiarrhythmic drug is thought to be useful in the therapy of common AF.

The effects of class ia antiarrhythmic drug on the common type of atrial flutter in combination with pacing therapy.
