The blood flow, which has to be free and clear, without blockages caused by cholesterol on the inside of the artery walls or narrowed or bulging areas in the arteries that might cause turbulence in flow or cause strain to the arteries.The heart muscles, which contract in a regular way so that blood moves from one chamber of the heart to another to the lungs to pick up oxygen and then on to the rest of the body.It is also called an atrial premature beat or a premature atrial contraction.įor the heart to properly do the work of pumping blood throughout the body, tasks in three areas have to be working correctly: These extra beats disrupt the regular heart rhythm, sometimes causing a sensation of a fluttering or a skipped beat in the chest. Its important to get a prompt diagnosis and care. Its often discovered by chance during a heart test. This condition is called Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) pattern. It is an extra heartbeat caused by a signal to the upper chambers of the heart (the atria) from an abnormal electrical focus. Overview Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are extra heartbeats that begin in one of the heart's two lower pumping chambers (ventricles). Some people with an extra electrical pathway dont have signs or symptoms of a fast heartbeat. An atrial ectopic beat is a problem in the electrical system of the heart. It might feel like the heart is skipping beats, or is beating faster than usual when the person is at rest (not exercising).
