Abstract

Atrial Flutter (AF) is a common arrhythmia in emergency room. However, rarely AF waves can cause diagnostic challenge by producing ST segment abnormality. Masquerading ST segment elevation and resultant diagnosis of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) leads to unnecessarily diagnostic and therapeutic intervention.

Keywords:

Atrial Flutter (AF); ST segment; Electrocardiogram
