In the present article, we will focus on the pharmacologic treatment of atrial flutter aimed either at restoring/maintaining sinus rhythm or controlling the ventricular response during tachyarrhythmia. To provide a comprehensive description we will start discussing the electroanatomic substrate underlying the development of atrial flutter and the complex relationship with atrial fibrillation. We will then describe the available drugs for the treatment of atrial flutter on the bases of their electrophysiological effects and data from available clinical studies. We will conclude by discussing the general principles of rhythm and rate control treatment during atrial flutter.
