An episodic premature atrial beat is a premature agitation of the atria, rather than the normal pathway of sinus node agitation, and is a type of arrhythmia. Episodic atrial premature beats in pairs are two consecutive atrial premature beats.
The normal conduction of the heart starts from the sinus node, while in this case the conduction of the heart starts from the atria, which is called atrial premature beat.
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the best test to check for the presence of atrial premature beats. ECG is convenient, painless and suitable for most patients.
If ECG reveals episodic premature atrial beats, there is no need to be nervous because episodic premature atrial beats can be seen in normal people, and if the patient does not have any other accompanying symptoms, it is sufficient to follow up with the doctor.
If atrial premature beats occur in pairs, it is recommended to wear a 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram for further examination, and also need to complete other cardiac examinations to diagnose whether there is organic heart disease.
It is recommended that patients go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor to carry out the appropriate examination to clarify the diagnosis, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
