Extrasystoles are extra pulses that happen outside the physiological heart rhythm and can cause terrible symptoms. They are also referred to as skipped pulses, heart hiccups or palpitations, and are therapeutically viewed as a type of cardiovascular arrhythmia.
Extrasystoles can happen in both healthy individuals and cardiovascular patients and regularly go unnoticed. The underlying reason is the disturbance of heartbeat that occurs outside the sinus node. Although there is no disturbance of the electric transduction system, the electric impulse for our heart rhythm is usually sent from the sinus node to the AV node. Or maybe, the extra stimulation is communicated through the heart musculature.
In most cases, the extra pulses can barely be felt, or only very faintly. The following standard heartbeat which happens later, and is more grounded is seen as the skipped heartbeat. The affected individual may then stress over conceivable coronary disease.
