Atrial Premature Complexes

My Dad got an ECG done and it came up with Atrial Premature Complexes. He has to go in and get it checked and I was wondering if someone might be able to tell me what they are exactly and if we should be worried.

Thank you!

Atrial Premature Complexes are known as PAC's. They are considered benign and there are many people who have them. If you search this site you will find previous posts of others who have the same problem. Certainly it should be checked but I'm sure it will be fine.:)
