Atrial premature complexes (APCs) are a type of irregular heartbeat that originates in the atria. APCs cause premature heartbeats to occur. Depending on the cause, people may not require treatment.
The correct diagnosis is normal sinus rhythm, right bundle branch block (RBBB), left anterior fascicular block, bifascicular disease, blocked (nonconducted) premature atrial complexes in a trigeminal ...
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 ...
Attempts to chronically suppress PVCs using antiarrhythmic medications in patients with acute myocardial infarction were associated with higher rate of arrhythmic deaths in the CAST Trial. [72] If ...
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 ...
MANY common arrhythmias observed in both atria and ventricles are similar although the atrial types have a few important distinguishing features. Thus, so far as therapy is concerned, the atrial ...
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 ...
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. There are four main ...
