A member asked:
Are there different types of pvcs/pacs?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Who Do You Ask: To most people, the answer would be "no." you'd figure out what chamber they come from and leave it at that. I and my colleagues specialize in heart rhythms (electrophysiology) and to us, there are at least a half-dozen varieties, which we group on how to approach them for treatment. On a cellular level, there are also a couple of ways the extra beat starts, which could be another way to view it.

Yes: In the sense that they can come from different parts of the heart & will look different.
