What is the medical explanation of frequent atrial premature beats? What are the disadvantages?

Frequent atrial premature beats, also known as premature beats and extra-premature beats. It's an early ectopic heartbeat. According to the origin, it can be divided into sinus, atrium, atrioventricular junction and ventricle.

It can be sporadic or frequent, frequent (> 6 beats/minute or 30 beats/hour), sustained heart rhythm, 2-3 consecutive premature beats, multi-source or short-term tachycardia.

Hazard: It can cause fatigue, dizziness and other symptoms (caused by decreased cardiac output), and can induce or aggravate angina pectoris or heart failure in patients with original heart disease.

The highest incidence rate is between 50 and 70 years old. About 5% of healthy people will have premature beats. The occurrence of premature beats will reduce the cardiac output. However, premature beats less than 6 times per minute have little effect on health (physiology).

Coping method

Those with obvious symptoms or accompanied by organic heart disease should find out the cause and inducement of premature beats as soon as possible, actively communicate with doctors, correctly identify the potential fatal possibility, and actively treat the cause and symptomatic treatment.

Patients should pay attention to their own routine, avoid strenuous exercise, especially when the weather conditions are bad, and pay more attention to going out.
