In the last few weeks, the Skeptical Cardiologist has had a run on with patients with premature atrial contractions (PACs). I've discussed in detail premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) here and ...
Do you ever feel like your heart misses a beat? There’s a good chance that what you noticed was a heartbeat that happened sooner than it usually does. When that happens, and then follows up with a ...
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Knowing the number of hourly premature atrial contractions (PACs) a patient has is as good as the Framingham atrial fibrillation (AF) risk algorithm in predicting five- to 15-year ...
A premature atrial contraction (PAC) occurs when a focus in the atrium (not the SA node), generates an action potential before the next scheduled SA node action potential. When this occurs prior to ...
A commonly used heart monitor may be a simple tool for predicting the risk of atrial fibrillation, the most frequently diagnosed type of irregular heart rhythm, according to researchers. A commonly ...
An ectopic rhythm is an irregular heart rhythm due to a premature heartbeat. Ectopic rhythm is also known as premature atrial contraction, premature ventricular contraction, and extrasystole. When ...
THE diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia without retrograde activation of the atrium is dependent upon the location of regular atrial activity that is independent of the faster ventricular rate. The ...
Atrial dysfunction, widely considered a marker or consequence of other heart diseases, is a relevant clinical entity, which is why it is justified to define atrial failure or insufficiency as "a new ...
