Frequent Atrial Ectopics

What Is It?

A rate of more than one extra heart beat originating from the atria, on average, every two minutes.

Additional Information

AEven at this rate, the condition can be benign in nature, even if associated with “thumping” or other features. Sometimes it may be associated with the start of another abnormal rhythm known as atrial fibrillation.

Treatment Options

It may also be associated with certain trigger factors, which when avoided will reduce the incidence or frequency of the events. Investigation is worthwhile to exclude important conditions and the MHM 100 can then be used to follow its progress.
