I was diagnosed with PAC two years ago. Other than a fluttering feeling when they happen I am asymptomatic. My new Dr. sent my most recent ecg to a cardiologist who believes they are not normal for a person my age. I am 57. Do I need further investigation like and echo-cardiogram?
Hi, Some amount of PACs can be seen even in healthy adults, if they are not more than 400 a day, there is nothing to be concerned. In case they are frequent I would advise you to undergo holder monitoring, which is an examination, during which a 24h ECG is recorded and have echocardiography done. Hope I could help nourishing you good health In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask
