In the last few weeks, the Skeptical Cardiologist has had a run on with patients with premature atrial contractions (PACs). I've discussed in detail premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) here and ...

THE diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia without retrograde activation of the atrium is dependent upon the location of regular atrial activity that is independent of the faster ventricular rate. The ...

In most cases, you can exercise at full capacity if you only sometimes experience PVCs. You may need to reduce the intensity if you often experience PVCs or have an underlying heart condition.

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Among asymptomatic patients without a history of CVD, high-grade premature ventricular contractions during the ...

Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is a type of abnormal heartbeat, or arrhythmia. It happens when the heartbeat begins in the lower, rather than the upper, heart chambers. This creates an ...

A healthy 33-year-old woman with no cardiac risk factors feels thumps or skipped beats in her chest a few times a day regardless of activity. An event recorder showed premature ventricular ...

People who experience high-grade premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) during the recovery period following exercise may be a higher risk for later cardiovascular mortality, a new study suggests.

Idiopathic premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) may cause subtle changes in left atrium (LA) structure and function. The authors of an article published in Cardiovascular Innovations and ...

Between Sept 1982 and Oct 1984, we diagnosed premature ventricular contractions(PVCs) in 9 newborns and infants (3M/6F). CXRs were obtained in 6 patients(pts) and ...

A single noninvasive radiation therapy treatment safely reduced the burden of ventricular tachycardia, with effects persisting for 2 years in most patients, according to data from the ENCORE-VT trial ...
