What is ectopic cardiac arrhythmias?

A group of cardiac arrhythmias in which the cardiac contractions are not initiated at the sinoatrial node. They include both atrial and ventricular premature beats, and are also known as extra or ectopic heartbeats. Their frequency is increased in heart diseases.

What are the diagnosis index entries for brachycardia?

Diagnosis Index entries containing back-references to R00.1: 1 Brachycardia R00.1 2 Bradycardia (sinoatrial) (sinus) (vagal) R00.1 3 Heart beat slow R00.1 4 Sinus - see also Fistula bradycardia R00.1 5 Slow heart R00.1 (beat) More items...

Do ectopic signals conduct to the heart ventricles?

The ectopic signals may or may not conduct to the heart ventricles. Atrial premature complexes are characterized by premature p waves on ecg which are different in configuration from the p waves generated by the normal pacemaker complex in the sinoatrial node.

What is Ectopy?

"Ectopic" means something that is in an odd place or position. In the case of an ectopic beat, that oddly placed something is your heartbeat. You may hear people call this condition an early, missed, or extra heartbeat. It happens because something goes wrong with your heart's electrical system.

Where do ectopic beats originate?

There are two types of ectopic heartbeat: Premature atrial contractions (PAC), which originate in the upper chambers, or atria. Premature ventricular contractions (PVC), which originate in the lower chambers, or ventricles.

What are ventricular Ectopics?

Ventricular ectopics are a type of arrhythmia or abnormal heart rhythm. It is caused by the electric signals in the heart starting in a different place and travelling a different way through the heart. If it happens occasionally, it should not cause any problems but if it happens a lot, you will need to have treatment.
