Premature atrial contractions: A predictor of atrial fibrillation and a relevant marker of atrial cardiomyopathy
An increased burden of premature atrial contractions (PACs) has long been considered a benign phenomenon. However, strong evidence of their involvement in the occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF), ischemic stroke, and excess mortality suggests the need for management. The central question to be re...
