"Fetal premature atrial contractions are a type of extrasystoles that can be occasionally detected in fetal heart monitoring. They along with fetal premature ventricular contractions (PVC's) account for the majority of in utero rhythm disturbances."

Line 1:207 · 'PVC' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"The PAC may be classified as non-conducted if it is not followed by a V wave or ventricular contraction. A non-compensatory pause should be noted following the PAC; blocked premature atrial contractions may mimic AV block (atrial rate > ventricular rate) but, unlike PACs, AV blocks maintain consistent intervals between atrial events 4."

Line 15:8 · 'PAC' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"Premature atrial contractions may occur at a 1:1 ratio with sinus beats (a pattern of bigeminy), with every second sinus beat (trigeminy) or every third sinus beat (quadrigeminy). Conduction to the ventricles may or may not occur; in the latter instance, no ventricular systole will be observed following atrial systole, and the duration of the pause (non-compensatory, with the total length of the pause less than twice the expected interval between atrial contractions) may be used to distinguish PACs from ectopic beats of a ventricular origin."
