Ventricular ectopic beats are premature heart beats originating from the ventricles. Normal heart beats originate from the sinus node, situated in the upper part of right atrium. Sinus node is the natural pacemaker of the heart which gives out regular impulses to induce sequential contractions of atria and ventricles.
