A member asked:
What's a "occasional aberrant conduction" heart beat?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
The electrical: activation of the heart utilizes several biological wires. There are completely normal conditions in which one or more of the wires activates more slowly than usual or not at all. This results in an EKG finding of aberration. This does not predict anything bad nor does it cause any problems.

This is usually: either an atrial aberrant complex or PAC (paroxysmal atrial complex) or PVC (ventricular). These occur due to an abnormal electrical pathway created within the conduction system in your myocardium. They are usually harmless, but enough of them "stringed" together for a significant amount of time (like 20 or 30 seconds) can cause a more serious arrhythmia. Be in close contact with your heart MD.
