2. Premature atrial contraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_atrial_contraction

   This can be either a premature atrial contraction or a premature impulse from the atrioventricular node. SVES should be viewed in contrast to a premature ventricular contraction that has a ventricular origin and the associated QRS change. Instead of the electrical impulse beginning in the sinoatrial (SA) node and propagating to the ...

3. 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 ...

   Atrial fibrillation (A-fib). An irregular and often very fast heart rate. Premature ventricular contraction (PVC). ... It can have many potential causes, including genetics, lifestyle habits, and ...

5. 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.

6. Bigeminy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigeminy

   For example, in ventricular bigeminy, a sinus beat is shortly followed by a premature ventricular contraction (PVC), a pause, another normal beat, and then another PVC. [1] In atrial bigeminy, the other "twin" is a premature atrial contraction (PAC).

7. Arrhythmia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhythmia

   The normal heart rate of the fetus is between 110 and 160 beats per minute. Any rhythm beyond these limits is abnormal and classed as a fetal arrhythmia. These are mainly the result of premature atrial contractions, usually give no symptoms, and have little consequence.

8. Premature ventricular contraction - Wikipedia

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

   Premature ventricular contraction in an ECG (arrows) of a dog, caused by dilated cardiomyopathy. Premature ventricular contractions occur in healthy persons of any age, but are more prevalent in the elderly and in men. [3] In a very significant proportion of people they occur spontaneously with no known cause. [citation needed]

9. Wikipedia:Osmosis/Atrial flutter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Osmosis/Atrial...

   Atrial flutter is when the atria repeatedly contract at really high rates, usually due to an underlying condition combined with premature atrial contraction. Faster atrial contraction in turn increases the number of ventricular contraction, which can cause shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, and nausea in certain people.
