A)1:1
B)2:1
C)3:4
D)5:2

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Atrial flutter is characterized by a regular atrial rate of 250-350 bpm, with a characteristic "sawtooth" pattern on ECG. The ventricular rate is typically slower due to conduction through the AV node, with a ratio of 2:1, 3:1, 4:1 or higher. So, the best choice is B, 2:1, for the ventricular response to atrial flutter.
