What is ectopic rhythm?
About
An ectopic rhythm is an irregular heart rhythm due to a premature heartbeat. It is extra heartbeats which occur before a regular heartbeat. Ectopic rhythm is also known as premature atrial contraction, premature ventricular contraction, and extrasystole.
Ectopic beats have been described in 1% of clinically normal people. [1]
- Requires a medical diagnosis
- Lab tests or imaging often required
- Treatable by a medical professional
Cause of ectopic rhythm is often unknown but some factors can aggravate it such as caffeine, smoking, some prescription medications, alcohol, stimulants, high levels of adrenaline, usually due to stress, and exercise.
Symptoms

- Pounding in heart
- Heart skipped a beat or stopped briefly
- Feeling faint or dizzy

Treatment
Self-care:
