When they are very frequent, they can cause serious cardiac conditions
If you have heart disease, PVCs can lead to more-serious heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias)
They are often seen in association with structural heart disease and represent increased risk of sudden death, 1 yet they are ubiquitous, even in the absence of identifiable heart disease
shortness of Premature atrial complexes (PACs) are extra heartbeats in the atria
During a premature ventricular contraction (PVC), the heartbeat is initiated by the Purkinje fibers rather than the SA node
In the absence of structural heart disease, beta-blockers and antiarrhythmic medications such as flecainide and sotalol can be used safely during pregnancy to treat tachyarrhythmias
It is also used to treat heart rhythm problems called atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter

The arrhythmias that cause palpitations range from common and benign to rare and lethal
Although the fundamental causes of PVCs remain largely unknown, potential mechanisms for any given PVC include triggered activity, automaticity, and reentry
Some conditions may become worse when the medicine is stopped suddenly, which can be dangerous
11 Mechanistically, it has been proposed that RVOT PVCs are caused by delayed after
VT is an unstable rhythm with high risk for deterioration into ventricular fibrillation and hemodynamic collapse
There was no difference between propafenone and sotalol (p =
