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.

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.

Bradycardia is a heart rate that's too slow. What's considered too slow can depend on your age and physical condition. Elderly people, for example, are more prone to bradycardia. In general, for adults, a resting heart rate of fewer than 60 beats per minute (BPM) qualifies as bradycardia. But there are exceptions.
A heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute, with its origin in the sinus node.
Other specified cardiac arrhythmias The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I49. 8 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I49.
"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.
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.
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.
