2. Premature atrial contraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_atrial_contraction

   Premature atrial contractions are often benign, requiring no treatment. Occasionally, the patient having the PAC will find these symptoms bothersome, in which case the doctor may treat the PACs. Sometimes the PACs can indicate heart disease or an increased risk for other cardiac arrhythmias .

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 ...

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.

   Atrial fibrillation (A-fib). An irregular and often very fast heart rate. Premature ventricular contraction (PVC). ... Treatment for dilated cardiomyopathy may involve taking medications or ...

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...

   Normal sinus rhythm and ectopic beats - premature ventricular contractions (PVC) and premature atrial contractions (PAC) shown on an EKG. PVCs may be found incidentally on cardiac tests such as a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) performed for another reason. In those with symptoms suggestive of premature ventricular complexes, the ECG/EKG is ...

9. Catheter ablation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catheter_ablation

   Catheter ablation has been found to improve mental health outcomes in individuals with symptomatic atrial fibrillation. [7] A 2018 study showed efficacy of cardiac ablation for treatment of Premature Ventricular Contraction as 94.1%. [8]
