Who might get an ectopic heartbeat?

Ectopic heartbeats are more common in older people, but they can happen to people of all ages. Children who have an ectopic heartbeat usually have a PAC. You’re more likely to have an ectopic heartbeat if you have:

• A family history of ectopic heartbeat.
• A heart condition (such as heart disease) or a structural problem, including valve disease.
• Had a heart attack in the past.
