Premature contractions in the elderly
Premature contraction is also called premature beat, or premature beat for short, which is a heart beat caused by an ectopic pacemaker sending out impulses early. According to the location of the pacemaker, it can be divided into atrial and junctional, both of which are collectively called supraventricular, and ventricular premature contraction.
