Ectopic atrial tachycardia

Definition

This form of supraventricular tachycardia originates in the atrium; conduction to the ventricles is not necessary for the tachycardia to continue. This irregular heart-rate is manifest by atrial rates between 100 and 250 bpm and rarely at 300 bpm, and may arise from right or left atrial sites due to conduction of non-sinus P wave.
