Premature atrial contractions (PACs) frequently initi-ate atrial fibrillation (AF). 1 The pulmonary veins (PVs) are the most common origin of PAC-triggered AF, with 2 possible explanations1: either PACs generally lead to AF, and the PVs are the most common origin, or PV PACs are particularly arrhythmogenic. PAC frequency predicts AF risk, 2 suggesting that PAC eradication might effectively prevent AF and compelling the identification of the most culpable PAC type. Leveraging data from the HOLIDAY trial (How Alcohol Induces Atrial Arrhythmias), we tested the hypothesis that PACs arising from the PVs are more likely to induce AF. PACs were administered during sinus rhythm to patients undergoing PVI ablation in a prospective protocol as part of HOLIDAY, a randomized, double-blind trial of 100 patients that evaluated atrial electrophysiology during infusion of alcohol versus placebo. 3 PACs were administered using paced extrastimuli in order from the proximal coronary sinus, distal coronary sinus, high crista terminalis, left upper PV, and right upper PVs. If the intended upper PV was electrically isolated, the ipsilateral lower PV was used; if both were isolated, the captured site closest to the intended PV was utilized. A 600 ms 8-beat drive train (S1) was administered, and, using a step-up approach, S2 was administered at 140 ms and increased by 10 ms until atrial capture occurred. The S2 coupling interval of the first captured beat constituted the PAC delivered from that site, also defining that site’s atrial effective refractory period (AERP). Nonsustained (< 30 seconds) and sustained (> 30 seconds) AF was documented after each PAC. The study infusion was then initiated, and the same protocol was repeated. The study was approved by the University of California-San
