2. Premature ventricular contraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_ventricular...

   If PVCs are suppressed by exercise, this is an encouraging finding. [citation needed] On electrocardiography (ECG or Holter) premature ventricular contractions have a specific appearance of the QRS complexes and T waves, which are different from normal readings. By definition, a PVC occurs earlier than the regular normally conducted beat.

3. Bigeminy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigeminy

   Bigeminy is a cardiac arrhythmia in which there is a single ectopic beat, or irregular heartbeat, following each regular heartbeat. Most often this is due to ectopic beats occurring so frequently that there is one after each sinus beat, or normal heartbeat. The two beats are figuratively similar to two twins (hence bi-+ gemini).

4. Ectopic beat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectopic_beat

   An ectopic beat can be further classified as either a premature ventricular contraction (PVC), or a premature atrial contraction (PAC). [1] Some patients describe this experience as a "flip" or a "jolt" in the chest, or a "heart hiccup", while others report dropped or missed beats.

5. Premature heart beat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_heart_beat

   A premature heart beat or extrasystole [1] is a heart rhythm disorder corresponding to a premature contraction of one of the chambers of the heart. Premature heart beats come in two different types: premature atrial contractions and premature ventricular contractions. Often they cause no symptoms but may present with fluttering in the chest or ...

6. Heart rate turbulence - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_rate_turbulence

   While studying PVC characteristics, Schmidt and his colleagues noticed that heart rate seemed to speed up after a PVC. To clarify, they listed the time from one heartbeat's R-wave to the next R-wave (called RR intervals) and synchronized these lists to the time of the PVC beat and averaged the values in the list. A plot of this averaged RR ...

7. Can Dehydration Cause High Blood Pressure? What Experts Say - AOL

   High blood pressure is when the force of blood against your artery walls is too high when your heart beats. If left untreated, this force can damage the blood vessels and cause heart disease ...

8. Premature atrial contraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_atrial_contraction

   Normal sinus rhythm and ectopic beats - premature ventricular contractions (PVC) and premature atrial contractions (PAC) shown on an EKG. Premature atrial contractions are typically diagnosed with an electrocardiogram, Holter monitor, long-term continuous monitor, cardiac event monitor, or with a smartwatch with an ECG functionality. [citation ...
