What are PACs that my cardiologist refers to?

PAC stands for a Premature Atrial Contraction Atrial refers to the Atrium which is one of the two upper chambers of the heart where blood is received from the blood vessels and pumped into the lower chambers of the heart called the Ventricles. Contractions in this context are the beats of the heart; when the heart muscle tightens and pushes blood throughout the body. Premature means the timing of something as too early or before expected. So, to put it all together, Premature Atrial Contractions are heartbeats or compressions of the muscles of the heart that surround the upper chambers (atrium) and push the blood from the atrial chamber into the ventricular chamber of the heart. The timing of the beats of the heart are in a rhythm that is required to make the most efficient use of the muscular contractions to move the blood. Sometimes those beats can be out of time with each other, in this case premature or ahead of the best timing with the other heartbeats. This may also be called an arrhythmia or irregular heart beat. Premature Atrial Contractions are considered a "benign" or less serious heart symptom and often don't even need treatment. There may be a slight feeling of a heart "stop" when one of the premature beats occurs but most people don't even feel them. PACs may also be called "Heart Palpitations".

What are the responsibilities and daily activities of being a cardiologist?

Well there are many responsibilities being a Cardiologist but since there are so many different fields in cardiology I will give you the round trip information on it all mostly. You have the responsibility of screwing up and either injuring the patient and killing him it doesn't matter what gender I was referring to dieing is dieing, which is why every month you give a percentage to the insurance company that way if you did screw up you have someone to fall back on basically its just like a circus net which keeps the tight rope performer from falling to his death if something that goes wrong. The hours are plain horrible you could be at home and they call you in for an emergency surgery but that's pretty slim due to their being other cardiologists being there. You can go around the clock and you barely get to see your kids and wife THAT YOU HAD MARRIED which is why some medical marriages do not last at all unless the woman really loves you dearly. You could see 25-30 people a day being a Non-invasive Cardiologist their job is plain and simple they see what they are able to do by looking at your heart disease and try and see if MEDS. can cure it, if not they will refer you to a cardiologist that has done a heart surgery in the Med. Field so I hope I helped you out from many different angles, if anyone has anything more to add please feel free to add some information in thanks and good day too you.
