Atrial runs

[Discovery_000]

Hello,

Can anyone explain the significance of atrial beat runs, around 8-10 in quick succession, one straight after another?

Is this classed as afib or atrial tachycardia?

More often than not they one straight after the other with no breaks, but sometimes there's the odd PVC thrown in for good measure. I understand that the odd atrial beat is normal, just wondered about this.

Letter from electrophysiologist just says 'will keep an eye on it'. Not very helpful or informative!

Thank you

I know what you mean, but have not had that while wearing a monitor ever, so unfortunately I am not sure exactly what they are- I have had lots of pac's and pvc's show up while wearing one- but never that weird run of beats. I usually begin to cough when that happens, and it seems to last around 10 (what seems like more though) seconds.
