- This week's EKG from the field shows a patient experiencing PACs. Dr Pruett walks us through identifying this rhythm and its potential causes.

Very thorough! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is very good. Do you think that PAC couplets are dangerous? I have two sets of couplets in a 24-hour holter. I did an echo of the heart and carotids and many blood tests and all are OK. I also had a 12-lead Holter and another 5-lead Holter. I used to have 20 extrasystole / 24 hours with the 12 lead Holter and 8 with 5 lead Holter, The tests are 6 months apart. My cardiologist says is all fine but I always look for other opinions from specialized people. Now I own a personal 24-hour Holter which is consistent with the medical grade 5 lead Holter. 8 extrasystole in 24 hours, and two of which are PAC couplets. Thank you very much. I am looking now to other videos from you. You are very generous to share knowledge with us.
Enjoyed your video but I do have a question for you, what is it when Im having over 100 PVCs a day as well around 3 PACs all in having a normal to Tachycardia Rhythm though out the day my HR is around 105 to 150BPM, I brought myself a holter 12lead ECG and it gives me a printout of all the rhythms it records daily from my 12 lead . any information is helpful thanks
