Overview

Premature atrial contraction need to be differentiated from other supraventricular premature beat that can originate from the atria or the atrioventricular node (AV node).

Differentiating Premature Atrial Contraction from other Diseases

• Junctional premature beats that arise within the AV node.
• Junctional premature beats that arise from the bundle of His.
