Are premature atrial contractions dangerous?

No: There is far more concern with a completely disorganized atrial rhythm called atrial fibrillation. Occasional early beats are of no concern.

Usually not: Atrial premature contractions are common and usually benign but can be associated with structural or functional abnormalities. Patients doctor should be able to explain.
