Cardiac ectopy or "ventricular extra beats" is a disturbance of the electrical conduction system of the heart in which beats arise from the wrong part of the heart muscle. The normal electrical conduction in the heart allows the impulse that is generated by the Sinoatrial node (SA node of the Heart to be propagated to (and stimulate the Myocardium is the muscular tissue of the Heart. Relationship to other layers The other tissues of the heart are the Endocardium It is a form of cardiac arrhythmia in which ectopic foci in the ventricular myocardium, or from finer branches of the electric transduction system, cause additional beats of the heart. Dysrhythmia redirects here For the American band see Dysrhythmia (band. An ectopic pacemaker or ectopic focus is an excitable group of cells that causes a premature heart beat outside the normally functioning SA node of the human In the Heart, a ventricle is a heart chamber which collects Blood from an atrium (another heart chamber that is smaller than a ventricle and Myocardium is the muscular tissue of the Heart. Relationship to other layers The other tissues of the heart are the Endocardium The heart is a muscular organ in all Vertebrates responsible for pumping Blood through the Blood vessels by repeated rhythmic Some medication may worsen the condition. Medication, also referred to as medicine, can be loosely defined as any substance intended for use in the diagnosis cure mitigation treatment or prevention of disease It does not usually need to be treated medically.
