Premature atrial contractions: Anyone have any helpful info on this?

Hi @jimcullen and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Connect is not made up of Mayo physicians, but rather community members and patients just like you and your wife. I would definitely call the physician's office that ordered the ECG so that you can talk with the medical team and determine if they think she needs to see a specialist.
@truus1106, @danab, @predictable and @oldkarl have also participated in this conversation and have had experiences of their own.
After you received the results did anyone call you to talk about the report? Is she currently having any symptoms.

I wish someone from Mayo would call me to talk with me about my experience with Mayo in Phoenix. Certainly 5 years is long enough to wait. oldkarl

My situation is a bit complicated at the moment and I'm not sure if I'm of any help. My medical background is: *mechanical aortic valve at the age of 49 * permanent atrial fib for about 26 years now * ablation didn't work * I (and my cardiologist) gave up after 7 cardioversions as the Afib returned every time * right now a leakage in the mitral valve (is causing breathing problems and fluid built-up), for which I'll be getting a few tests next week to determine what (if anything) can be done about it. If anybody can relate to this and offer any suggestions, I would be very grateful.
