Overview
Many cases of premature atrial contraction have no definite cause, it may be the result of various other problems. If PAC patients present with symptoms, a generalized approach is done to find the precipitating factors.
Laboratory Findings
The following investigations are done to patients with symptoms :
- Renal function and electrolytes
- Complete blood count
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone (commonly suppressed in hyperthyroidism and of relevance if amiodarone is administered for treatment)
