Atrial Flutter a Manifestation of Cardiac Tamponade

Atrial flutter (AFL) is a common arrhythmia that is associated with postpericardiotomy and pericarditis. The relationship of AFL with tamponade has rarely been reported. A case of AFL with acute pericarditis and cardiac tamponade is thus presented here. PACE 2012; 35:e97–e99)
