MeSH Heading: Atrial Premature Complexes
Tree Number(s): C14.280.067.325.250; C14.280.123.375.250; C23.550.073.325.050
Unique ID: D018880
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018880
Scope Note: A type of cardiac arrhythmia with premature atrial contractions or beats caused by signals originating from ectopic atrial sites. 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.
Entry Term(s): Atrial Ectopic Beats; Atrial Premature Complex; Extrasystole, Atrial; Premature Atrial Beats; Premature Atrial Complex; Premature Atrial Contractions; Premature Supraventricular Beats
