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 ...

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 ...

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.

Stress and anxiety can trigger premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), a type of arrhythmia. Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) can be caused by emotional stress and anxiety, among other ...

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.

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
