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 ...

Background Previous epidemiological studies demonstrated that premature atrial contractions (PACs) and premature ventricular ...

Background A 44-year-old female presented with a long history of chest pain, palpitations and increasing dyspnea. Electrocardiography and 24 h Holter monitoring revealed multiple premature ventricular ...

In most cases, you can exercise at full capacity if you only sometimes experience PVCs. You may need to reduce the intensity if you often experience PVCs or have an underlying heart condition.

A healthy 33-year-old woman with no cardiac risk factors feels thumps or skipped beats in her chest a few times a day regardless of activity. An event recorder showed premature ventricular ...

Idiopathic premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) may cause subtle changes in left atrium (LA) structure and function. The authors of an article published in Cardiovascular Innovations and ...

Premature ventricular contractions are a risk factor for heart failure. Premature ventricular contractions may be a modifiable risk factor for heart failure and death. Premature ventricular ...

INTRODUCTION Inadvertently induced ventricular fibrillation (VF) by radiofrequency (RF) energy delivery for premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) is a rare phenomenon; nevertheless, it is crucial to ...

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. When this occurs prior to ...
