"tachycard übergeleitetes Vorhofflattern bei einer 2 zu 1 Überleitung, Ventrikelfrequenz 110 pro min."
The context is an EKG examination in a discharge report. I understand the 2:1 conduction part. My research so far seems to indicate that the part in question refers to the atrial flutter being conducted to the ventricles to result in either tachycardia, normal heart rate or even bradycardia (normokard übergeleitet, bradykard übergeleitet). Is this correct, and is there a standard term in English for this?

atrial flutter with rapid ventricular response
"Ventricular response" is the technical term for the heart rate resulting from atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
I am not sure, however, if a rate of 110/min would really be considered "rapid" - this is mostly said with heart rates causing circulatory problems (e.g., with 1:1 conduction). I'd therefore be tempted to do without the technical term ("Tachycardia from AV flutter with 2:1 conduction; ...")
