A PAC usually will also show up on the EKG and be characterized by:
a normal QRS complex
a normal T wave repolarization (not inverted to the other T waves)
an odd, mis-shapen P wave depolarization

Re: premature atrial contractions
bingousmle - 05-21-10 15:01 b. Mitral valve stenosis in patients without CHF is associated with PACs. Mitral stenosis causes increased pressures in the left atrium, wall stretching, and hypertrophy and thus predisposes to PACs
