Zusammenfassung

Vorhofflimmern ist definiert als eine ungeordnete, chaotische Erregung beider Vorhöfe mit Frequenzen zwischen ca. 350 und ca. 600/min. Eine genaue Abgrenzung der Vorhoffrequenz ist beim VHF oft nicht mehr möglich, Vorhoftachykardien mit regelmäßiger elektrokardiographischer Vorhofaktivität mit Frequenzen zwischen ca. 200 und ca. 350/min sollten als Vorhofflattern diagnostiziert werden.
