How does atrial flutter affect my body?

When you have atrial flutter, your heart isn't working as efficiently as it should.

• Blood clots could form, which could cause a stroke or heart attack.
• The fast pulse from atrial flutter can weaken your heart muscle.
• When your heart beats too quickly, your heart ventricles can’t fill with blood. Your heart pumps less blood, which can make your blood pressure drop and cause heart failure.
