We evaluated the patterns of interruption of atrial flutter (AFl) induced by rapid atrial pacing in 10 patients using standard electrophysiologic techniques. We observed 3 patterns of interruption of AFl: 1) interruption resulting from block of an orthodromic wavefront within the reentry loop in 5 patients; 2) interruption when pacing impulses no longer captured all of the recording sites in the atrium during rapid atrial pacing in 2 patients, and 3) interruption with 1 echo wave after the cessation of pacing in 3 patients. These findings suggest that there are patterns of interruption of AFl other than that resulting from a simple block of an orthodromic wavefront within the reentry loop.
