A premature atrial complex (PAC). (In this example the atrial p-wave is difficult to discern).
A premature atrial complex (PAC) with evident negative p-wave

Premature atrial complexes origin from an ectopic pacing region in the atria. The result is a p-wave with often a different morphology as the preceding ones.
