Data associating PVC burden with increased risk for heart failure and early mortality prompt some to see catheter ablation as the cure, but Dr John Mandrola urges constraint.

A new study suggests that post-exercise premature ventricular contractions might flag individuals at long-term risk for cardiovascular death.

Cardiac PVCs might be benign, but can sometimes pose a problem. Matthew Hunter of Warminster, Bucks County always lived healthy, trying to stay ahead of his genetics.

Common extra heartbeats known as premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) may be a modifiable risk factor for congestive heart failure (CHF) and death, according to researchers at UC San Francisco.

The heart monitor that your doctor recommended should pick up the number of PVCs over a 24-hour period. If the PVCs are frequent, the cardiologist may want to do other studies, like an echocardiogram, ...

La La Anthony is opening up about a health scare that sent her to the hospital. She was diagnosed with PVCs, a cardiac condition that is more common than you'd think. The 39-year-old "The Freak ...

Premature ventricular contractions may be a modifiable risk factor for heart failure and death.

But in most cases, that heart-stopping feeling is actually an extra heartbeat, called a premature ventricular contraction (PVC). They're very common. Some people feel them, but others don't." ...

Among asymptomatic patients without a history of CVD, high-grade premature ventricular contractions during the recovery period following exercise stress testing were predictive of long-term CV ...

The PVCs were uniform and occurred frequently, he noted, with a right bundle branch block morphology and a right superior axis. The PVCs were followed by retrograde P waves.
