Scope note: Tipo de arritmia cardíaca con contracciones o latidos atriales prematuros causados por señales que se originan a partir de localizaciones atriales ectópicas. Las señales ectópicas pueden ser o no conducidas hasta los VENTRÍCULOS CARDÍACOS. Los complejos atriales prematuros se caracterizan por ondas P prematuras en el ECG que tienen una configuración diferente a partir de las ondas P generadas por el complejo del marcapasos normal en el NODO SINOATRIAL.

Scope note: A type of cardiac arrhythmia with premature atrial contractions or beats caused by signals originating from ectopic atrial sites. The ectopic signals may or may not conduct to the HEART VENTRICLES. Atrial premature complexes are characterized by premature P waves on ECG which are different in configuration from the P waves generated by the normal pacemaker complex in the SINOATRIAL NODE.
