Can "benign atrial ectopic beats" as diagnosed cause blood clots? i didn't get to ask the cardiologist that question?

Unlikely: Occasional atrial ectopic beats are not likely to cause blood clots. Atrial fibrillation is associated with blood clots in the atrium. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
