Often an extra-systole [pronounced sis-tol-ee] has no significance. If you have more than 8-10 per minute then a visit to a doctor for a heart tracing would be advised.

What is the cause of compensatory pause after an extrasystole?

Extrasystole is due to the irregular contraction of the ventricle before the atria. When this happens, an action potential is elicited and the ventricle contracts. The action potential had a refractory period, during which the intrinsic heart rate attempts to fire but cannot elicit a contraction. This is why extrasystole is often referred to as skipping a beat. The compensatory pause is the time it takes for the beat to resume normal contraction.

What causes extrasystole?

An extrasystole is a type of irregular heartbeat pattern. It occurs when the lower chambers of the heart called the ventricles contract sooner than they are supposed to in a normal heart rhythm. The premature contraction is followed by a short pause and then a fast beat of the rest of the heart. Minor extrasystoles are fairly common and usually do not cause symptoms, though a very pronounced extrasystole can lead to palpitations, chest pains, trouble breathing, and other dangerous symptoms. Treatment typically consists of taking daily medications to regulate heart activity and control other underlying conditions


Why is it only possible to induce an extrasystole during relaxation?

It is only possible to induce an extrasystole during relaxation because the heart needs to be in a certain phase of the cardiac cycle for an extra beat to occur. During relaxation (diastole), the heart muscles are more excitable, making it easier for an extra electrical impulse to trigger a premature contraction. This is why inducing an extrasystole during relaxation is more likely to succeed than during contraction (systole).


Why is it only possible to induce an extrasystole during relaxation period?

The cardiac muscle is incapable of reacting to any stimulus before approximately in the middle of phase 3. It will not react to a normal cardiac stimulus before phase 4.


During which portion of the cardiac cycle is it possible to induce extra systole?

Extrasystole is an extra ventricular systole that happens during the begging of relaxation (repolarization). Since the cardiac is able to depolarize only after repolarization, any stimulus upon the repolarization period created an increased ventricular contraction or which is also called extrasystole but not a new contraction.
