Normally this would not occur. Beats between regularly spaced beats are called premature contractions and can occur with either the top or bottom chambers of the heart. This has the potential for causing an irregular heartbeat called an arrhythmia.

How does regular exercise strengthen your heart muscle?

Regular exercise strengthens your heart muscle by increasing its efficiency, allowing it to pump blood more effectively with each beat.

Is Human heart is myogenic or neurogenic?

In the human heart, contraction is initiated by a special modified heart muscle known as sinoatrial node. It is located in the right atrium. The SA node has the inherent power of generating a wave of contraction and controlling the heart beat. Hence, it is known as the pacemaker. Since the heart beat is initiated by the SA node and the impulse of contraction originates in the heart itself, the human heart is termed myogenic. The hearts of vertebrates and molluscs are also myogenic.
