If a premature atrial contraction occurs when the AV node has not yer recovered from the refractory period, the PAC will fail to conduct to the ventricles and there will not be a QRS complex ...

This is a narrow-complex QRS rhythm which is quite fast ... If a premature atrial contraction (PAC) or premature ventricular contraction (PVC) occurs at the right time, the normal conduction ...

Patients requiring a pacemaker often have atrial fibrillation (AF), which increases the risk of thromboembolism and, consequently, the risk of morbidity and mortality. To maintain sinus rhythms ...
