An ECG strip shows the presence of atrial premature (ectopic) beats, which are heartbeats that occur in addition to a normal heartbeat. Atrial premature beats are seen as premature atrial electrical signals (P') interrupting a regular pattern of electrical signals (P). A normal ECG strip is shown at the bottom for comparison.
