Ectopic Heartbeat. An ectopic heartbeat happens when your heart beats too soon. It can feel like your heart skipped a beat or it’s racing. These heartbeat irregularities can be scary, but they usually aren’t harmful. They often result from stress, caffeine, alcohol or certain cold medications.
17 Ιαν 2020 · Ectopic beats can be more sinister or dangerous, for example when they arise from the ventricle or the pumping chamber of the heart, particularly if the burden of the ectopic beats is high. This ‘burden’ refers to the percentage of ectopic beats compared to all your other heartbeats.
23 Αυγ 2023 · Ventricular ectopy is an irregular heartbeat caused by one of the heart's two ventricles (lower chambers). It is usually not serious and shouldn't be a cause for concern. Symptoms may include heart palpitations or the feeling that your heart is skipping a beat.
The ectopic burden is a measure of the percentage of ectopic beats when compared to all your heartbeats. There is emerging evidence that a high ectopic burden (10-30%) may affect the way your heart beats over time if left untreated.

12 Οκτ 2017 · Premature atrial and ventricular contractions, or ectopic beats, are frequently detected on routine electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring. They are often considered to be benign with no pathological significance; however, data suggest that higher ectopic burdens may have clinical importance.
Excessive supraventricular ectopic activity (ESVEA) was thereby defined as ≥ 30 SVEC per hour or any episodic runs of ≥ 20 SVEC. In the 678 subjects recruited, 99 had ESVEA, 70 had SVEC > 30/hour and 42 had runs of ≥ 20 SVEC (13 had both).
