Ectopic beats (PAC’s and PVC’s) can produce irregular
rhythms. Multiple distinct ectopic
atrial foci can produce an irregularly irregular rhythm (wandering atrial
pacemaker versus multifocal atrial tachycardia). The extreme of an infinite number of
reentrant atrial conduction loops all with different timing can lead to atrial
fibrillation.
