Ectopic beats every 2-3 beats, what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extra beats: An ectopic beat is one where the electricity does not originate from its normal location in the heart. This results in the heart either beating prematurely, or delaying the heart beat for a very brief time.
