2. 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 ...

3. Pre-excitation syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-excitation_syndrome

   Pre-excitation syndrome is a heart condition in which part of the cardiac ventricles are activated too early. [1] Pre-excitation is caused by an abnormal electrical connection or accessory pathway between or within the cardiac chambers. Pre-excitation may not cause any symptoms but may lead to palpitations caused by abnormal heart rhythms.

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. Cardiac action potential - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_action_potential

   An example of premature ventricular contraction is the classic athletic heart syndrome. Sustained training of athletes causes a cardiac adaptation where the resting SAN rate is lower (sometimes around 40 beats per minute). This can lead to atrioventricular block, where the signal from the SAN is impaired in its path to the ventricles. This ...

7. Premature junctional contraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_junctional...

   If more than two such beats are seen, then the condition is termed junctional rhythm. On the surface ECG, premature junctional contractions will appear as a normally shaped ventricular complex or QRS complex, not preceded by any atrial complex or P wave or preceded by an abnormal P wave with a shorter PR interval. Rarely, the abnormal P wave ...

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 ...

9. P wave (electrocardiography) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_wave_(electrocardiography)

   If at least three different shaped P waves can be seen in a given ECG lead tracing, this implies that even if one of them arises from the SA node, at least two others are arising elsewhere. This is taken as evidence of multiple (i.e. at least two) ectopic foci , and is called multifocal (or more correctly, multiform) atrial rhythm if the rate ...
