ECG showing preexcited AF at the rate of @ 220/bpm Location of the AP is left posteroseptal (maximal preexcitation shows +ve delta in V1 & -ve delta in inferior leads)
12-lead ECG in sinus rhythm showing manifest WPW syndrome utilizing left posteroseptal AP (+ve delta in V1 & -ve delta in inferior leads)
Intracardiac tracing showing surface LI and V2 (preexcited) and shortest AV in PCS (in sinus rhythm) denoting the presence of posteroseptal AP. RF ablation was applied via the ablation catheter which recorded shortest AV than that of PCS catheter
During RF ablation, normolization of the QRS complex and AV prolongation denoting successful ablation.

Mechanism of Atrial Flutter (AFL)
Kalman et al., Circulation. 1996;94:398
Schematic depicting the entire flutter circuit in red rotating counterclockwise around the TA. Blue arrows represent passive activation
The crista terminalis and the ER act as lines of block preventing activation from "short circuiting" the annulus.
