PVCs are rarely dangerous. Almost everyone has them from time to time. They can be caused by stress, infection, or overuse of caffiene or other stimulants. PVCs may also be an early warning of other problems such as a thyroid disorder or Heart disease. Something to try to be aware of is if the PVCs are perfusing or nonperusing, that is do you have a pulse with these irregular beats? As long as the beats are perfusing there is no risk of your blood pressure being lowered by these missed or irregular beats.

How is a ventricular ectopic beat diagnosed?
Ventricular ectopic beats are easily seen on an electrocardiogram
What does it mean to have intermittent high blood pressure nauseau palpitation occasional ventricular ectopic beats and feeling of collapse?
myocardial infarction
What is the prognosis for ventricular ectopic beats?
If the person with heart disease is able to find an effective means of controlling ventricular ectopic beats, the outlook is good.
What type of disease can be find by heart beat?
If you hear a heart mumur, this indicates heart valve disease. If the heart rate is irregular it is either atrial fibrillation or ectopic beats, either atrial or ventricular.
How many types of heart rythem-?
There are three types of heart rhythms and they include; Supraventricular arrhythmias,Ventricular arrhythmias,Bradyarrhythmias.
What is supraventricular ectopic activity?
Basically the heart is having extra beats, but it is unclear if those beats are from the atria or ventricles.
Atrial ectopic beats are the same as?
premature atrial contractions (PAC)
What is the most dangerous type of arrhythmia?
ventricular fibrillation
Where are some places you can go if you have an ectopic pregnancy?
Go to the ER right away. Ectopic pregnancy is very dangerous.
What is PVC of the heart?
Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are extra heartbeats that begin in one of your heart's two lower pumping chambers (ventricles). These extra beats disrupt your regular heart rhythm, sometimes causing you to feel a fluttering or a skipped beat in your chest. Premature ventricular contractions are common — they occur in many people. They're also called: Premature ventricular complexes Ventricular premature beats Ventricular extrasystoles If you have occasional premature ventricular contractions, but you're otherwise healthy, there's probably no reason for concern, and no need for treatment. If you have frequent premature ventricular contractions or underlying heart disease, you might need treatment.
What is a ventricular tachycardia?
Ventricular tachycardia-- A rapid heart beat, usually over 100 beats per minute.
Why atrial flutter not dangerous than ventricular fibrillation?
because there is av node in the heart that blocks most of the impulse from atria to ventricles.as for eg if there is 300 beats in atria then its blocks and it slow down the impulse so that there will be around 200 beats to ventricles. during ventricular fibrillation there is not any such devices so it directly affects the system as a result bp increases etc that may lead to death.
