Abstract: Abstract Foetal premature atrial contractions (PACs) are the most commonly encountered and also the most benign foetal arrhythmia. A retrospective cohort study was conducted with the objective to assess whether the presence of foetal breathing… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Premature atrial contractions are a common cardiac phenomenon. Although previously considered a benign electrocardiographic finding, they have now been associated with a higher risk of incident atrial fibrillation (AF) and other adverse outcomes such… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Aims Loss of cell-to-cell communication results in local conduction disorders and directional heterogeneity (LDH) in conduction velocity (CV) vectors, which may be unmasked by premature atrial contractions (PACs). We quantified LDH and examined differences… read more here.

Abstract: Frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) can cause cardiomyopathy (CM). Postextrasystolic potentiation (PESP) and irregularity have been in implicated as triggers of PVC‐CM. Because both phenomena can also be found in premature atrial contractions (PACs), it… read more here.
