  2. 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]

  3. Ectopic beat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectopic_beat

    It is a form of cardiac arrhythmia in which ectopic foci within either ventricular or atrial myocardium, or from finer branches of the electric transduction system, cause additional beats of the heart. Some medications may worsen the phenomenon. [citation needed] Ectopic beats are considered normal and are not indicative of cardiac pathology.

  4. Ectopic pacemaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectopic_pacemaker

    As a rule, premature ectopic beats (i.e. with a shorter than the prevailing preceding R-R' interval) indicate increased myocyte or conducting tissue excitability, whereas late ectopic beats (i.e. with a prolonged preceding R-R' interval) indicate proximal pacemaker or conduction failure with an escape 'ectopic' beat.

  5. Arrhythmia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhythmia

    PVCs that occur at intervals of 2 normal beats to 1 PVC, or 1 normal beat to 2 PVCs, are termed "PVCs in trigeminy" [13] Groups of three premature ventricular beats are called triplets and are considered a brief run of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT); if the grouping lasts for more than 30 seconds, it is considered sustained ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Concealed conduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concealed_conduction

    A common example would be an interpolated PVC (a type of premature ventricular contraction) during normal sinus rhythm; the PVC does not cause an atrial contraction, because the retrograde impulse from the PVC does not completely penetrate the AV node. However, this AV node stimulation can cause a delay in subsequent AV conduction by modifying ...

  8. Palpitations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palpitations

    The cardiac etiologies of palpitations are the most life-threatening and include ventricular sources (premature ventricular contractions (PVC), ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation), atrial sources (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter) high output states (anemia, AV fistula, Paget's disease of bone or pregnancy), structural ...

  9. Premature junctional contraction - Wikipedia

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

    These premature beats can be found occasionally in healthy people and more commonly in some pathologic conditions, typically in the case of drug cardiotoxicity, electrolyte imbalance, mitral valve surgery, and cold water immersion. [1] If more than two such beats are seen, then the condition is termed junctional rhythm.
