Answer for screen readers
The final answer is 250 to 350 beats per minute.
More Information
Atrial flutter is characterized by a rapid heartbeat, with the atria beating at a high rate between 250 to 350 beats per minute. This can lead to an increased ventricular rate if the AV node conducts every beat, although it is often much slower due to AV node conduction ratio.
Tips
Confusing atrial rate with overall heart rate is common. The atrial rate in atrial flutter is typically much higher than the ventricular rate due to AV node conduction limits.
