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. In this case, the underlying cause is treated.
Ectopic beat is a disturbance of the cardiac rhythm frequently related to the electrical conduction system of the heart, in which beats arise from fibers or group of fibers outside the region in the heart muscle ordinarily responsible for impulse formation (i.e., the sinoatrial node).
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.

In which Valiant argues that PAC learning describes how organisms evolve and learn. Littlestone, N.; Warmuth, M. K. (June 10, 1986). "Relating Data Compression and Learnability" (PDF).
By definition, a PVC occurs earlier than the regular normally conducted beat. Subsequently, the time between the PVC and the next normal beat is longer as the result of a compensatory pause. [ 19 ] PVCs can be distinguished from premature atrial contractions because the compensatory pause is longer following premature ventricular contractions ...
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 a skipped beat. They typically have no long-term complications. They most often happen naturally but may be associated with caffeine, nicotine, or ...
As this PAC conducts down the left bundle, it will depolarize the septum then proceed retrograde up the right bundle. Eventually, this will reach refractory conduction tissue and stop. The subsequent beat — if early enough — will find the right bundle still refractory and the process will repeat yielding a continued RBBB morphology.
Wandering atrial pacemaker may be seen in young, healthy individuals as well as in the elderly and those with lung disease. [2] The cause of wandering atrial pacemaker is unclear. Increased tone from the vagus nerve may factor into the rhythm appearing in young, healthy individuals who exercise. The vagus nerve is a part of the parasympathetic ...
