may be triggered or increased by stress, caffeine, smoking, and some medicines. Cold remedies containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine have been known to increase the incidence of atrial ectopic beats
premature atrial contractions (PAC)
the first symptom of AEB is usually a feeling that the heart has skipped or missed a beat. This is often accompanied by a feeling that the heart is thumping or pounding in the chest
Atrial ectopic tachycardia
Ventricular ectopic beats are easily seen on an electrocardiogram
The absence of a P wave on an EKG could indicate an issue with the electrical impulse formation in the atria of the heart, such as in atrial fibrillation where the atria are not depolarizing in a coordinated manner. Other possible causes include atrial flutter, junctional rhythm, or ectopic atrial beats. Further evaluation by a healthcare professional is necessary to determine the underlying cause.
Basically the heart is having extra beats, but it is unclear if those beats are from the atria or ventricles.
Heart diseases such as arrhythmias, murmurs, or valve disorders can be detected by listening to the heart beat. Irregularities in the rhythm or sound of the heart can indicate underlying cardiac issues that may require further investigation and treatment. Regular monitoring of heart beat can help in early detection and management of heart diseases.
No. Currently, there are no medication treatment options for atrial septal defect.
What could the prognosis be with a women in her late 40s with underlyning sinus rhythm, mixed with VEBs and AEBs? average rate of 57bpm ( range 37-143bpm) Heart rate less than 50bpm were noted 57% but with no pauses greater than 2 seconds. with sinus bradycardia, rate 52bpm and ventricular premature beat? women doesnt smoke, drink or take drugs of any kind. thank you

Atrial Flutter is characterized by rapid depolarization of a single atrial focus at a rate of 250-350 BMP
