What Causes Tremors In The Right Arm While Suffering From Atrial Flutter?
I recently was diagnosed with atrial flutter and had an ablation on 7/27/17. A stress test indicated a heart attack happened sometime in my past. I am scheduled for an angioplasty on 8/24/17. Today my heart feels like it has really been pounding hard. My right arm was shaking in rhythm with the pulse. I m a 54 year old male. Advice?

Hello,
It seems that you have tachyarrythmia due to atrial flutter only. Gaps in-healed ablation areas necessitate a repeat procedure in 20–50% of patients. Sinus rhythm is maintained for more than 1 year after one procedure in approximately 60% of patients and in 70–80% of patients after multiple procedures. You need to undergo ECG now and see your cardiologist in ER.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T.K. Biswas
