   Aug 8, 2023 · Premature atrial contractions (PACs) are contractions of the atria that are triggered by the atrial myocardium but have not originated from the sinoatrial node (SA node). PACs are also commonly referred to as atrial premature complexes (APCs), premature supraventricular complexes, premature supraventricular beat, and premature atrial beat.

   What are atrial premature complexes?

   • Another name for atrial premature complexes is premature atrial contractions. One of the most common symptoms of APCs is heart palpitations or unusual awareness of your heartbeats. Palpitations are heartbeats that are extra fast, extra slow, or irregularly timed. APCs occur when a beat of your heart occurs early in the heart cycle.

   What are premature atrial complexes (PACs)?

   • Premature atrial complexes (PACs) are extra heartbeats in the atria. The atria are two chambers in the heart that receive blood from the veins. PACs are the most common variety of cardiac arrhythmias . This is when the heart beats irregularly, too slow, or too fast. An estimated 50% of all people with or without heart disease have PACs.

   Premature atrial contraction ( PAC ), also known as atrial premature complexes ( APC) or atrial premature beats ( APB ), are a common cardiac dysrhythmia characterized by premature heartbeats originating in the atria. While the sinoatrial node typically regulates the heartbeat during normal sinus rhythm, PACs occur when another region of the ...

   Premature atrial contractions (PACs) can be seen in a broad spectrum of patients with and without heart disease and are often considered benign clinical phenomena. Recent studies have, however, shown an association between PACs and new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF), stroke, and all-cause mortality.
